The most significant and current news about Adam Sandler's kids revolves around the long-awaited sequel to his 1996 classic, Happy Gilmore. While the Sandler family has made a tradition of appearing in nearly all of Adam's projects—a trend that began with small cameos and grew into supporting roles—their involvement in Happy Gilmore 2 marks a new level of commitment and visibility. This isn't just a quick walk-on; both girls are playing key, named characters in the film, which is slated for a 2025 release on Netflix.
Sunny Sandler as Vienna Gilmore: The youngest daughter, Sunny, has secured the most important family role in the sequel. She is confirmed to be playing Vienna Gilmore, the daughter of the titular character, Happy Gilmore. This role places her directly at the center of the film’s narrative, indicating a major screen time commitment and a significant step up from her previous work. Her performance will be closely scrutinized, given the cultural impact of the original film.
Sadie Sandler as Charlotte: Sadie, the elder sister, is also taking on a substantial role, playing a character named Charlotte. While details on Charlotte’s relationship to the main characters are still emerging, her casting confirms that the Sandler family is making the sequel a true family affair. Their mother, Jackie Sandler, is also featured in the film as the character Monica, further cementing the family's collaborative spirit.
This generational casting choice—having the star's real-life daughters play his on-screen family—lends a unique authenticity to the project. It highlights Adam Sandler's desire to keep his personal and professional worlds intertwined, giving his daughters an unparalleled masterclass in major motion picture production. The buzz around their roles alone has generated massive topical authority for the film, fueling curiosity among fans of the original.
From Cameos to Co-Stars: The Sandler Sisters' Impressive Filmography
The Sandler sisters' acting journey is a fascinating case study in nepotism done right. They haven't just been given roles; they've been given opportunities to learn and grow within a familiar, supportive environment. Their filmography is extensive, with over 20 movies under their belts, primarily through Happy Madison Productions films.
The Breakthrough Role: You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023)
While their earlier work, including brief appearances in Grown Ups (2010), Jack and Jill (2011), and Just Go with It (2011), established their presence, it was the 2023 Netflix comedy, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, that truly launched them as young stars. Sunny Sandler took the lead role of Stacy Friedman, a teenager navigating the social pressures of her upcoming bat mitzvah, while Sadie played her older sister, Ronnie.
The film was a massive success for Netflix, earning critical praise for its authentic portrayal of teenage life. This project proved that the sisters could carry a major film, not just support their famous father. It was a crucial step in their career, demonstrating their acting chops outside of simple comedic cameos and preparing them for the high-profile roles in Happy Gilmore 2.
A History of Family Collaborations
The frequent co-starring of the Sandler family is a distinctive feature of Adam Sandler's career. It’s more than just a preference; it’s a brand. Other notable appearances include:
- Hotel Transylvania Series: Both girls provided voice work in the animated franchise, with Sadie voicing Winnie and Sunny voicing various characters, showcasing their versatility beyond live-action comedy.
- Hubie Halloween (2020): A Halloween-themed comedy where both Sadie and Sunny had roles.
- Murder Mystery (2019) & Murder Mystery 2 (2023): While their roles were smaller, they continued the tradition of family involvement, often alongside co-star Jennifer Aniston, who is a close family friend.
Their ongoing career trajectory suggests a deliberate, strategic path toward becoming established Hollywood professionals. They are not merely "Adam Sandler's kids" anymore; they are Sadie and Sunny Sandler, rising actresses poised to take on more independent projects in the coming years. Their recent public appearances, such as attending the Spaceman premiere in February 2024 and the 2024 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, confirm their increasing visibility on the Hollywood circuit, signaling a bright and busy future ahead.
