“He raised a kid by accident. Now he’s back… for round two (kind of).”
It’s been nearly three decades since Sonny Koufax—that irresponsible, hilarious, secretly big-hearted man—accidentally became a father figure in Big Daddy (1999) and captured the hearts of millions.
Now, a new wave of whispers has begun: Big Daddy 2 is rumored to arrive in January 2026 on Netflix. But… is it real?
A Familiar Face Returns. A Familiar Memory Awakens.
Across Facebook, fan forums, and rumor sites, speculation is spreading: Adam Sandler might return as Sonny Koufax. But this time, it’s not about raising Julian—it’s about helping Julian raise a child of his own.
Julian (played by Cole Sprouse) is now an adult. A single father, grappling with loss, confusion, and the fear of doing it alone. So, he turns to the only man who ever taught him how not to parent—Sonny.
Is Sonny ready to be the wise(ish) grandfather? Or just a chaotic old-school mentor with too many snacks and too few filters?
Is Layla (played by Joey Lauren Adams) still in the picture, offering her grounding warmth in the middle of all this generational madness?
đź“Ľ One Old Film. A Gentle Reminder.
— a film that still makes audiences laugh through tears.
From ketchup breakfasts to courtroom breakdowns, from playground chaos to accidental fatherhood—Sonny and Julian left a mark.
It wasn’t just a movie. It was a memory. A reminder that love doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to show up.
But… Is It Real?
Sadly, there’s no official confirmation from Netflix, Adam Sandler, or any production company as of now. Reputable sources like IMDb, Collider, and Variety make no mention of a sequel being in production.
Instead, it may all be part of a beautifully crafted fan fantasy—powered by rumors, emotional storytelling, and slick trailers created by devoted fans.

So, What If?
Could Big Daddy 2 really work?
With Cole Sprouse now a leading actor in his own right, and Adam Sandler thriving in both comedy and drama, the timing feels… possible.
After the success of Happy Gilmore 2, Netflix seems eager to revive Sandler’s classic characters. What better time to bring back the messy, lovable world of Sonny Koufax?
Will the Story Continue?
Will Sonny return, not just as a joke-telling slacker, but as a flawed, funny, love-filled grandfather figure?
Will Julian find his way through fatherhood—with help from the man who once failed and triumphed at the same time?
Will we, as fans, get to laugh and cry one more time over spilled milk, oversized sunglasses, and the kind of love that only Sonny Koufax could give?
No one knows for sure. But one thing is certain: Big Daddy never really left us.
And if the sequel ever does come true, it won’t just be a movie.
It will be a reunion—with our memories, our childhood, and the characters we grew up loving.
