Adam Sandler loves you. The actor and comedian declares his adoration for us all in the new trailer for his upcoming Netflix stand-up special, Adam Sandler: Love You, which has now been given a release date. Confirmed by the streaming service, Adam Sandler: Love You will debut on Netflix later this month on August 27 and finds Sandler reuniting not just with the streamer but also with Uncut Gems co-director Josh Safdie.
“You guys are the best, I love you! I love you! I need you! Help me!” Sandler declares in the new footage, before teasing what’s to come and saying, “Yeah, alright, so anyways, I talk a lot, and then I sing, and then we do a bunch of sh*t.”
Adam Sandler: Love You comes six years after the release of his previous special 100% Fresh, which received an Emmy-nomination and saw Sandler take his comical musical musings out on the road. Going from comedy clubs to concert halls to one very unsuspecting subway station, 100% Fresh was met with much acclaim from both critics and audiences alike.

The beloved actor and comedian has starred in a whole host of movies from all manner of genres over the last few years, including Uncut Gems, Leo, Spaceman, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, Murder Mystery and its sequel Murder Mystery 2, The Ridiculous 6, Hubie Halloween, and more.
