Actor and comedian Adam Sandler has reached a deal with Netflix Inc to make four new movies for the global streaming service, the company said on Friday.

Sandler, a former Saturday Night Live cast member who built a career on movies such as Grownups and The Water Boy, has become one of the biggest draws on Netflix, according to the company.

Sandler’s Murder Mystery, co-starring Jennifer Aniston, was ranked the streaming service’s most popular title in the United States in 2019. It is one of six movies and a comedy special he has made for Netflix with his company, Happy Madison Productions, since 2015.

His upcoming projects for Netflix include Hubie Halloween co-starring Kevin James and Julie Bowen and an animated feature film that Sandler will write and star in as a voice actor.

Netflix is counting on original movies such as Sandler’s to help it compete with new rivals, particularly Walt Disney Co, which has been removing its films from Netflix and taking them to its own Disney+ streaming service.

Not to mention also because of Jennifer Anitson. Besides Netflix can not yet afford other most popular Hollywood stars.

His movies are awful, but since they are very simple to understand; they click with a larger segment of the population.
