Grown Ups 3 cast and first look image revealed as filming starts

The Grown Ups Crew Gets Ready for an Ultimate Adventure

After a hiatus, the nostalgia machine is heating up as theGrown Ups franchise prepares for its next chapter. Following a period of relative quiet, Netflix recently dropped some tantalizing details about the upcoming sequel, confirming that production is officially underway and bringing fans closer to what promises to be another dose of comedic chaos.

The excitement was palpable when Netflix released a cast photo featuring the returning stars, including Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Maya Rudolph, Maria Bello, and Salma Hayek Pinault. The image perfectly captures the spirit of the film, showing the beloved group anticipating a meal together in a darkly lit restaurant—a perfect visual nod to their shared history.

Beyond the familiar faces, the gang is growing even bigger. This installment introduces new talent Julie Bowen, Deon Cole, and Bailee Madison, who will join the returning cast of Jackie Sandler, Shaquille O’Neal, Colin Quinn, Tim Meadows, Cheri Oteri, Ellen Cleghorne, and Nick Swardson.

The story behind Grown Ups 3 promises a grand adventure, with the official logline setting the stage for pure, unadulterated fun: “Now that their kids are all grown up, the gang is finally free to go on the ultimate adventure.”

Filming is already in full swing, taking place in New Jersey. The creative team behind the sequel includes co-writers Tim Herlihy and Sandler, who previously penned Grown Ups 2, alongside other popular projects like Happy Gilmore 2 and Hubie Halloween.

While fans eagerly await their next group outing, Adam Sandler is also branching out into new territory. Earlier this year, he announced another project lined up on Netflix: Time Out, a film directed by Scott Cooper, known for his work on films like Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.

The premise of Time Out hints at the kind of complex, yet relatable, narrative Sandler is exploring. The synopsis reveals that Vincent (Sandler) faces a crisis after being fired and attempts to conceal the truth by spinning a web of lies to protect his family. This deception escalates when he sets up an investment scheme, threatening to overwhelm his personal life.
