š¬ The Wedding Singer 2: Is Love Really Back on the Playlist?
Itās been over 25 years since The Wedding Singer first melted our hearts with its charming blend of love, music, and glorious ā80s nostalgia. In 1998, Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler brought Robbie and Julia to lifeātwo sweet, mismatched souls who found each other in a whirlwind of tacky tuxedos and power ballads. Ever since that final serenade on a Las Vegas-bound plane, fans have quietly wondered: could we ever get a sequel?

Now, in 2025, that question is louder than ever. Whispers of Wedding Singer 2 have flooded social media, fueled by fan-made posters, fabricated trailers, and even Facebook posts claiming a Netflix release this September. But is there any truth behind the buzz?
š¬ They’re TalkingāBut Nothingās Confirmed
While there is no official Wedding Singer 2 in developmentāyetāthereās been some very real conversation about it. In a 2023 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Adam Sandler named The Wedding Singer as the one film heād place in a time capsule. Barrymore, clearly emotional, responded that she felt it was time to revisit Robbie and Julia. āWeāre talking about it⦠Itās percolating,ā she told Entertainment Tonight later that year.
Even earlier, in a 2021 retrospective celebrating the original filmās 25th anniversary, a clip resurfaced of Barrymore and Sandler saying theyād love to work together again. Barrymore even joked that they could have done Wedding Singer 2, but they were waiting for a story that truly mattered. āOtherwise,ā she said, āwe couldāve done it already.ā Sandler, ever the improviser, added with a grin, āLetās do it.ā
So far, these exchanges have been warm, nostalgic, and encouragingābut not definitive. No script. No schedule. No studio commitment.
š¬ What Could The Wedding Singer 2 Even Be About?
The original wrapped things up in a perfect bow: Robbie and Julia ditched their terrible partners and chose each other. Billy Idol cameoed. A wedding happened. Cue credits. But a sequel? Thatās tricky.
Fans have floated countless ideas:
-
Robbie became a rock star⦠then lost it all.
-
Julia now runs her own wedding venue and Robbie is back singing at receptions.
-
They broke up⦠only to reunite years later.
-
Their child wants to follow in Robbieās musical footsteps, and they disapprove.
Whatever direction it takes, one thingās clear: the story needs to recapture the chemistry and emotional honesty of the original. It wasnāt the plot that made The Wedding Singer workāit was the connection between its leads.
š Who Would Return?
If this sequel ever happens, thereās no Wedding Singer without Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. That much is obvious. But what about the rest of the gang?
-
Christine Taylor as Holly, Juliaās cousin and sidekick? Weād love to see where life took her.
-
Allen Covert as Sammy, Robbieās best friend, could bring the comic chaos.
-
Matthew Glave as sleazy Glenn Guglia? A post-#MeToo storyline could be darkly hilarious.
-
Angela Featherstone as Linda, Robbieās ex-fiancĆ©e, might offer closureāor another twist.
Sadly, Alexis Arquette, who played George, passed away in 2016, leaving a beloved hole in the heart of the ensemble. But one return fans are dying for? Billy Idol, again playing himself, potentially making good on his promise to call his record label for Robbie.
š£ Fact vs. Fiction
Hereās whatās real:
-
Sandler and Barrymore have talked about doing something together again.
-
Theyāve expressed interest in a Wedding Singer follow-up.
-
No official project is in development as of July 2025.
Hereās what isnāt real (yet):
-
Thereās no Netflix release scheduled for Wedding Singer 2.
-
No trailer exists on verified channels (YouTube, IMDb, Netflix, etc).
-
Fan-made posters and videos are circulating, but none are from studio sources.
Ā The Magic That Still Matters
Whether or not The Wedding Singer 2 ever materializes, what the original left behind still resonates: joy, sweetness, and two stars whose chemistry defies time. While many rom-coms fade from memory, Robbie and Julia remain a pair we still root for, even decades later.
So for now, the sequel lives in our hopesāand maybe in a few quiet brainstorm sessions between Drew and Adam. And if it ever does happen? We’ll be first in line.
