Of course, Adam Sandler has now been producing movies for Netflix exclusively for years, with seven feature films, a stand-up special, and a handful of movies produced by his banner, Happy Madison. The deal has existed for years, although it was renewed in January 2020 for four more feature films.

Following the success of Uncut Gems, the Safdie Brothers and Sandler will be teaming up for a new project that’s believed to be about baseball cards in NYC in the 90s.

Beyond that, we know very little about the upcoming project, so watch this space.
