Fact check: Is Netflix's Buds series starring Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler real? Viral poster debunked

The Buds series, supposedly starring Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler, is not real. Despite the realistic design, the viral poster claiming that Sandler and Carrey are teaming up for a new comedy series for Netflix, titled Buds, is fake. The confusion about a supposed team-up of the actors started after a Facebook post by YODA BBY ABY on Thursday, February 6, 2025, about the potential project went viral.

Per the Facebook post, Buds is a comedy series coming to Netflix in June 2025. Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler were reportedly going to star in it as two lifelong buddies, Jim Harris and Adam Klein, respectively.

The premise for the supposed show would be Carrey and Sandler's characters dreaming of opening The Giggle Garden in New York. As per the synopsis mentioned, the series will follow their "wild, wacky world of legal green."

The Facebook post further claimed that the new comedy series will be 10 episodes long and promises "pure, uncut comedy." However, despite the poster being visually convincing, there is no verified production, release schedule, or studio confirmation for the project.

Moreover, it's worth noting that the Facebook page YODA BBY ABY is a known parody account that describes itself as "100% satire and fake." Hence, the poster claiming Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler's Netflix project called Buds should not be taken seriously.
