Sandler’s been hanging out in the Garden State while working on some big Netflix projects.

First, he stayed local during the filming of Happy Gilmore 2, which is already racking up buzz as his next streaming hit. Now, he’s back in Long Branch, reportedly shooting a new film with his daughter Sadie.

It's a Happy Madison production, so odds are good it’s tied to Sandler’s massive Netflix deal.

Netflix Is Setting Up Shop In Jersey

So, why all the Jersey love lately? Well, Netflix recently broke ground on its $1 billion East Coast production hub, right on the old Fort Monmouth site.

They’re in the process of building 12 sound stages across Eatontown and Oceanport, sources report, starting with four that are already underway.

Once it’s up and running, expect even more celebrity sightings up and down the shore and beyond.

Between the beach views, relaxed vibe, and now full-blown Hollywood infrastructure, it’s no wonder stars are rolling into town. There will, no doubt, be even more celebrity sightings to come.

One thing’s for sure, if he keeps filming here, we’re gonna find out.
