(iheart.com) Deadline reported that the project was presented as part of Netflix’s upfront slate in New York. Variety also reported on May 13 that the announcement marked the first time Netflix had officially acknowledged the sequel’s status after years of rumors. ### Who is officially attached to make the sequel?

Deadline reported that Sandler, Spade, Schneider, Rock and James are set to return for the threequel.

(deadline.com) ### What is the next concrete thing to watch for? Netflix said on Tudum that no release date has been revealed for “Grown Ups 3” and directed readers to watch Tudum for updates. Any next formal milestone is likely to be a cast announcement, production start or release-date disclosure from Netflix, which has so far confirmed only the project, the writers, the director and the producing team.
