Netflix hit comedy gold with BUDS (2025), the long-awaited team-up of Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler, two comedy giants whose chemistry has electrified audiences worldwide. With a whopping $75 million budget, this 10-episode series set in the eccentric small town of Greenfield delivers a perfect blend of outrageous humor, heartfelt moments, and nostalgic charm.
Series Premise:
BUDS follows Danny (Sandler) and Charlie (Carrey)—two childhood friends turned oddball roommates—who never quite grew up. Now middle-aged and living in their quirky hometown, they stumble into absurd schemes, heartfelt community crises, and nostalgic reflections on growing older while refusing to grow up. Whether they’re saving the town’s bowling alley or accidentally running for mayor, their chaotic friendship is always at the center of the madness.
Production & Impact:
Netflix went all in, not only on the A-list casting but also on detailed set designs, a memorable ensemble cast, and a team of seasoned comedy writers. The result? A streaming sensation. Premiering globally on April 18, 2025, BUDS dominated Netflix charts, earning over 100 million viewing hours in its first week and topping trends in dozens of countries.
Why It Works:
Critics and fans alike praised BUDS for combining slapstick absurdity with genuine emotional storytelling. Carrey and Sandler’s first-ever full-length collaboration is a comedic masterclass—balancing belly laughs with moments of surprising vulnerability. Behind-the-scenes improv clips and viral outtakes further fueled its popularity.
🎉 BUDS is a comedic love letter to friendship, aging, and never letting go of who you are at heart. It’s bold, ridiculous, heartfelt—and one of 2025’s most beloved series.
