Rumors are abuzz that actors and comedians Adam Sandler and Matt Rife are teaming up for a Billy Madison sequel movie for Netflix. This is after a page called Yoda Bby Aby posted on Facebook, mentioning the arrival of the film featuring the artists this year. But how true are these rumors?
Based on the available evidence, the rumors are untrue. The page that posted the news about their collaboration on the Billy Madison sequel, Yoda Bby Aby, is a Facebook page known for making satirical and fake posts. The same is also mentioned in their bio, which reads:
"I'm just here to eat frogs, lift rocks and be satirical. The page is 100% satire and fake news."
Sandler is known for his performance in movies such as Murder Mystery, Blended, and 50 First Dates, while Matt Rife has acted in The Curse of Wolf Mountain and Death Link, among others.
About the rumor surrounding Adam Sandler and Matt Rife's association with the Billy Madison sequel
The Internet was shook after it was speculated that Adam Sandler and Matt Rife are collaborating on the upcoming Billy Madison sequel. The rumors also suggested that the film will be released on Netflix around September 2025.
Additionally, it was suggested that Sandler would be playing the role of Billy Madison and Rife would be playing his son, Billy Jr. The speculative Facebook post made by the page Yoda Bby Aby on April 12, 2025, read:

This is not the first time Billy Madison sequel rumors have circulated
The possibilities of a Billy Madison sequel have been aplenty over the years. In September 2024, the rumor mills were abuzz as back-to-back posts were circulating online, especially on Facebook, suggesting that the movie was happening.
One of the first posts was made by the page called BryceLee FromOkc on September 6, 2024. It contained a picture depicting Adam Sandler in a shirt, a cardigan, and a tie and a weird expression on his face. It featured him in a classroom setting with other students also present. Behind him, on the board, it was written "Netflix' and "Billy Madison 2".
Several people reacted, commented, and shared the post, leading to excitement among audiences. However, this post, too, was fake. But unlike Yoda Bby Aby, this page does not mention that it deals with fake and satirical news.
Therefore, the only thing that gave away the fact that the announcement was untrue was the fact that the images were AI-generated. Additionally, since then, there have not been any official confirmations regarding a Billy Madison sequel, further supporting the claims of the news being fake.
Besides this, the same month on September 8, another post from the same page was made which featured Adam Sandler's AI-generated avatar in a classroom setting once again. This time however he was wearing a shirt, a blazer, and a tie and had an expression different from the picture shared by them previously. It goes without saying, that this post too was fake.
