Netflix has confirmed that the upcoming film Roommates, produced by Adam Sandler, will debut on the streaming platform on April 17, 2026. This coming-of-age comedy marks a new project for Sandler, although he will not appear on screen.
The announcement, accompanied by first-look images, offers a glimpse into the film’s vibrant portrayal of modern youth. One of the newly released photos features leads Sadie Sandler and Chloe East alongside fellow cast members, sharing a light moment that captures the essence of friendship in the digital age.
Film Details and Creative Team
The official logline for Roommates describes the story as follows: “When a hopeful, naive college freshman, Devon, asks the cool and confident Celeste to be her roommate, a blossoming friendship spirals into a war of passive aggression.” The film is directed by Chandler Levack, known for the critically acclaimed film I Like Movies. The screenplay is crafted by Jimmy Fowlie and Ceara Jane O’Sullivan, both of whom are writers for Saturday Night Live.
In addition to Sandler’s daughter, Sadie Sandler, and Chloe East, the film features a diverse cast including Sarah Sherman, Josh Segarra, Carol Kane, Janeane Garofalo, Storm Reid, Bailee Madison, along with comedic talents Natasha Lyonne and Nick Kroll.
Continuing Partnership with Netflix
Although Sandler himself will not be acting in this film, his role as producer continues his successful partnership with Netflix. Since 2015, this collaboration has produced popular titles such as Murder Mystery, Hubie Halloween, and the recent sequel, Happy Gilmore 2.
With an emerging director at the helm and a blend of established and rising stars, anticipation is building among fans for the release of Roommates next spring. This film promises to deliver the signature humor and relatable storytelling that Sandler’s projects are known for, making it a highly anticipated addition to Netflix’s lineup.
