Sandler has had quite a strong relationship with Netflix as of late. He’s already lined up his second comedy special with the streamer, and his CG-animated feature Leo, which was a Netflix original, drew very good reviews. Now, Netflix is going to be handling this new high-concept comedy that he’s co-producing.

This looks to be an impressive cast of comedic veterans, so it should be a lot of fun to see what they come up with for this concept. The premise sounds fresh, fun, and original, and the cast is great, so hopefully it will live up to that.
