Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions is fanning the flames of a rib-tickling new comedy, Roommates, starring Sadie Sandler and Chloe East, and Netflix finally unveiled the long-awaited trailer, which is practically enough to send viewers belly-flipping with laughter on the floor.
Directed by Chandler Levack from a script written by Jimmy Fowlie and Ceara Jane O’Sullivan, the pair behind SNL’s explosive Domingo sketch, Roommates explores the “bizarre intimacy” of freshman year.
