In addition to the secrecy around the characters, there has been a layer of suspense around the release date also. However, it has been confirmed that the film will premiere on Netflix.
Earlier reports were also doing the rounds that Sandler’s team approached Taylor Swift with an offer.

However, it turned out the offer was serious. The insider added that Taylor felt featuring together seemed like a funny idea, but if she accepts the offer, it would be a treat for the fans.
