Adam Sandler to release four films on Netflix

Adam Sandler will be releasing four movies on Netflix after the actor signed a deal with the online streaming giant earlier.

The streaming service will finance and produce these features with the 50-year-old actor, reported Variety.

"(I) love working with Netflix and collaborating with them. I love how passionate they are about making movies and getting them out there for the whole world to see.

"They've made me feel like family and I can't thank them enough for their support," Sandler said in a statement.

In 2014, Netflix signed a deal with the Big Daddy star's Happy Madison Productions to a four-movie deal, wherein The Ridiculous 6 and The Do-Over are said to have become the most-watched original films which were launched on the service.

Sandler's next movie, Sandy Wexler will debut April 14 on Netflix.
