Frank Coraci, the original director, told Collider last year: “There’s a script. It’s very funny. It deals with the kids being older and the parents trying to re-find their spark. It just needs a green light.” Here’s the thing about Blended : It wasn’t trying to be Citizen Kane . It was a warm, silly, slightly crude, but genuinely heartfelt movie about the chaos of modern family life. It had more emotional intelligence than critics gave it credit for (that scene on the bus with the daughters? Tissues).
While Warner Bros. (which distributed the original) has not officially greenlit Blended 2 , multiple industry insiders suggest that Netflix—Sandler’s current home via his Happy Madison production deal—is very interested. Given that the original Blended became a massive cable and streaming hit years after its theatrical release, the appetite is clearly there. The original film ended with single parents Lauren (Drew Barrymore) and Jim (Adam Sandler) finally getting their romance right. Their blended family—complete with Jim’s three tomboyish daughters and Lauren’s two sensitive sons—had become one big, messy unit. blended 2 full movie
A Blended 2 could work if it follows the 50 First Dates model—same chemistry, totally new location, higher stakes. We want to see Sandler and Barrymore navigate a family of seven (plus exes) stuck on a zip-line or lost in a jungle. Frank Coraci, the original director, told Collider last
But what about a direct sequel? Is Blended 2 actually happening? After years of rumors, here is the most detailed breakdown of the potential plot, cast, and current status. For years, both Sandler and Barrymore have been asked about a follow-up. In late 2025, Drew Barrymore mentioned on her talk show that she and Sandler had “kicked around an idea” over text message. That single comment sent the internet into a frenzy. It just needs a green light
The kids don’t want to go on another “blended” family trip. The rumor is that Jim wins a “second honeymoon” to a luxury resort in Costa Rica or Thailand . The twist? The kids secretly invite their respective biological other parents (the ex-spouses) to crash the vacation.
