Sorry to burst the bubble, but Buds, the wild Netflix comedy starring Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler, does not exist. The many viral Facebook posts that promised a stoner sitcom dream team? Completely made up. It first surfaced in January 2025 and quickly gained traction with its slick design and tempting premise. Despite how real it looked, there has been no official word from Netflix, Sandler, or Carrey—so this comedy dream remains just that- a dream.

The poster teased a June 2025 release, hinting that Buds would follow "two lifelong buds" launching "The Giggle Garden"- a pot shop in NYC. It promised “10 episodes of pure, uncut comedy” and teased city regulations, eccentric customers, and nonstop comedy chaos. Jim Carrey was listed as Jim Harris, and Adam Sandler as Adam Klein. The pitch was perfect for a buddy sitcom—but it was all fiction, and while fans were hoping for this dream team, they can still look forward to Sandler's return in Happy Gilmore 2. Meanwhile, Carrey remains focused on navigating some of his real-life changes.

Jim Carrey’s Brentwood mansion is a topic of interest for many—and though it may not be a film project of his own, it certainly seems to be taking on a life of its own.

Jim Carrey’s Brentwood home faces big changes

Jim Carrey just knocked another million off his longtime Brentwood estate, now asking $18.75 million after a deal fell through, according to Mansion Global. The 2-acre property was first listed in early 2023 at $29 million and has seen several price cuts since. The most recent drop followed a canceled contract after the Palisades fire in January 2025 came dangerously close to the home, prompting evacuations and scaring off buyers.

This mansion is not just big—it has got a big personality. The compound includes a 10,000-square-foot 1951 ranch home with five bedrooms, a waterfall-fed pool, a sunroom, and an Art Deco-style theater. Outdoors, it boasts a tennis court, guesthouse, and a separate yoga and meditation studio. Carrey, who bought the home in 1994 during his Dumb and Dumber era, was said to no longer be spending much time there and decided to part ways with it. Yet, despite its star-studded appeal, it seems the property just is not attracting the right buyer—at least not yet.
