After almost three decades, the beloved, foul-mouthed golfer Happy Gilmore is finally making his way back to the big screen. Netflix has officially dropped a teaser for Happy Gilmore 2, a sequel to the 1996 cult classic that starred Adam Sandler in the role of the unconventional golfer with a booming drive and a sharp sense of humor. Fans who have been eagerly awaiting the return of the character will be thrilled to know that Adam Sandler is reprising his iconic role for the long-awaited follow-up, set to stream on Netflix globally in early 2025.
The sequel is helmed by Kyle Newacheck, known for his work on Workaholics and Murder Mystery, while the screenplay is penned by the original Happy Gilmore collaborators Tim Herlihy and Adam Sandler. With the original creative team back in action, Happy Gilmore 2 promises to bring back the humor, heart, and golf antics that made the first film a comedy classic. The teaser hints at a mix of nostalgic moments and fresh twists, as we catch up with Happy, who famously won the 1996 Tour Championship with his unorthodox playing style.
In addition to Adam Sandler’s return, Happy Gilmore 2 boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Julie Bowen reprising her role as Happy’s love interest, and Christopher McDonald returning as the villainous Shooter McGavin. New faces include Benito Martínez Ocasio, Margaret Qualley, Ben Stiller, Benny Safdie, Travis Kelce, and Nick Swardson, promising a diverse and talented lineup that will add even more flavor to the film’s quirky narrative. Ben Stiller, in particular, is expected to reprise his role from the original film in a comedic cameo, adding to the film's nostalgic appeal.
As Happy Gilmore 2 continues to stir up excitement, fans are eagerly anticipating how the story will evolve nearly 30 years after the first film. Will Happy’s unorthodox golfing ways still be enough to win championships, or will he face new challenges both on and off the green? Whatever the outcome, Happy Gilmore 2 is shaping up to be an entertaining ride for both long-time fans of the original and newcomers alike.
With Netflix set to release the film worldwide in early 2025, it's clear that Happy Gilmore’s triumphant return to the screen will be one of the most anticipated films of the year.
