Production
Maria Bello said in an August 2016 interview, "People have talked about it and we've heard it might happen, but I don't know if there is a script, I don't know what there is. But I hope so because, boy, it's fun to work with those guys."[3] In 2018, star and co-producer, Adam Sandler wrote and performed a tribute song dedicated to Chris Farley in his Netflix stand-up special Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh. In the song he explicitly mentions a third Grown Ups film with Farley, referring to Farley's inclusion in the original film during its conception in the early 1990s.[4] In January 2020, comedian Tom Scharpling gained attention for uploading an unofficial and unaffiliated Grown Ups 3 script, written in April 2019, to Twitter.[5][6][7] In July 2025 while promoting his film Happy Gilmore 2, Sandler hinted a sequel is possible once a story has been greenlit.[8] Rob Schneider expressed support in a sequel following his absence in the second film.[9]
