Adam Sandler Tees Off Again in Netflix’s "Happy Gilmore 2"
Guess who’s back on the golf course? That’s right—Adam Sandler is reprising his iconic role in Happy Gilmore 2 , the Netflix sequel fans never knew they needed until now. Nearly 29 years after the original movie became a cultural phenomenon, the first teaser for this long-awaited follow-up has hit the green, bringing waves of nostalgia and excitement. Let me tell you, it’s shaping up to be a wild ride!
The teaser debuted early on Christmas Day, a gift to fans that coincided with Netflix's groundbreaking broadcast of two live NFL games. Sandler, returning as the loveably chaotic golfer, looks like he hasn’t lost his edge—or his temper. This time around, Happy faces a blend of familiar faces and intriguing newcomers. Julie Bowen reprises her role as Virginia Venit, Happy’s supportive love interest, while Christopher McDonald returns as Shooter McGavin, the hilariously over-the-top rival who fans love to hate.

But it’s not just a reunion of old characters. The sequel introduces new energy with stars like Bad Bunny, Margaret Qualley ( The Substance ), comedian Nick Swardson, NFL legend Travis Kelce, rapper Kid Cudi, and filmmaker Benny Safdie, who previously directed Sandler in Uncut Gems . The mix of talent ensures the film will be as unpredictable as a Sandler swing on the fairway.
Behind the scenes, Kyle Newacheck—who directed Sandler in Murder Mystery —takes the reins as director, with Tim Herlihy co-writing the script. Herlihy’s involvement promises continuity with the original film’s sharp humor. Meanwhile, Dennis Dugan, who helmed the 1996 classic, steps in as executive producer.
The original Happy Gilmore became an instant classic, with its mix of slapstick comedy, outrageous characters, and unexpected heart. Who can forget Happy’s hockey-inspired swing, his all-out brawls on the golf course, or his hilarious encounter with Bob Barker? The sequel promises to honor this legacy while bringing fresh twists to the story.
So, are you ready to tee off with Happy again? Keep your eyes peeled for its 2025 release on Netflix. It’s going to be one for the (score)cards!
