“He raised a kid by accident. Now he’s back… for round two (kind of).”
Lately, rumors have been swirling across social media: a possible sequel titled “Big Daddy 2”, said to be premiering in January 2026 on Netflix, with Adam Sandler reprising his iconic role as Sonny Koufax—the man who once accidentally raised a child nearly three decades ago.
A Whisper from the Fans…
According to several viral posts on Facebook, CBR, and InfinityFarmsOK, the rumored sequel follows Julian (played by Cole Sprouse)—now an adult and facing single fatherhood after a tragic loss. In search of guidance, he turns to the one man who once showed him how not to parent: Sonny Koufax.
What follows is vintage Sonny—sugary snacks, chaotic wisdom, and emotional meltdowns (mostly his own). Joey Lauren Adams is also rumored to return as Layla, bringing back old chemistry amidst new family dynamics.
“Sugary snacks. Questionable life lessons. And public meltdowns – mostly Sonny’s.”
If this is true, Big Daddy 2 will blend absurd gags with heartfelt moments and showcase the messy, hilarious love that makes parenting both impossible and beautiful.
📼 A Throwback to the Original
Before we look ahead, let’s take a moment to revisit where it all began:
🎞️ 🎞️ Watch the official trailer for Big Daddy (1999) here — where Adam Sandler first brought Sonny Koufax to life, a reluctant guardian who stumbles into fatherhood with nothing but snacks, sarcasm, and surprisingly sincere heart.
This is the film that defined a generation—and now, fans who grew up with Julian are hoping to see him again… this time as a dad.
But… Is It Real?
Unfortunately, as of now, there has been no official confirmation from Netflix, Adam Sandler, or any production studios. Trusted sources like IMDb, Collider, and Variety make no mention of the sequel being in development.
Instead, this may be part of a highly convincing fan-made concept—one that has captured imaginations with slick fake trailers and well-written synopses.
🎬 Still want to imagine what Big Daddy 2 could be?
Check out this fan-made concept trailer that’s been circulating online—it captures the emotional core and chaotic charm of a possible sequel, complete with grown-up Julian, classic Sonny antics, and a surprisingly heartfelt tone.
While unofficial, it’s a nostalgic what-if that brings fans one step closer to the sequel they’ve been dreaming of.
Should It Be Made?
According to Collider, after the success of Happy Gilmore 2, Netflix is eyeing more legacy sequels from Sandler’s classic era. And Big Daddy, with its 1999 box office success and emotional resonance, would be a perfect choice.
Cole Sprouse is now a well-established actor, and a follow-up exploring Julian as a father could make for a powerful full-circle story.
🎥 Final Thoughts
As it stands, Big Daddy 2 (2026) is still just a whisper of hope among longtime fans. There’s no official announcement—yet. But if this movie ever becomes real, it won’t just be a sequel… it will be a reunion. Of laughs. Of characters. Of generations.
Correction – or a whispered message to those who remember:
Maybe the movie doesn’t exist. But the memory—and the hope for a sequel—is very real.
📺 If Sonny Koufax ever returns, you’ll be the first to know. Stay tuned.
