Netflix has finally given Adam Sandler fans a holiday gift, unveiling the trailer for Happy Gilmore 2, its highly anticipated sequel to the beloved sports comedy. The film, which will premiere on Netflix in 2025, reunites Sandler with his original cast, including Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, Dennis Dugan, Allen Covert, and Ben Stiller.
The plot follows Sandler’s titular character as he enters a senior golf tour after being rejected from hockey. McDonald reprises his role as Shooter McGavin, while Bowen returns as Gilmore’s love interest, Virginia Venit. Stiller also makes a comeback, playing Hal L, a role he originated in the first film and later reprised in Hubie Halloween.
The trailer marks a milestone for Sandler, who has collaborated with writing partner Tim Herlihy on 13 films, including Saturday Night Live and Canteen Boy. The upcoming comedy will feature a star-studded cast, including Bad Bunny, Margaret Qualley, Nick Swardson, Benny Safdie, Eminem, Travis Kelce, and Dan Patrick.
The news comes as Netflix continues to expand its production deal with Happy Madison Productions, the production company behind many of Sandler’s films. The deal, which was initially signed in 2014, has brought several successful movies to the streaming giant, including Murder Mystery, which became Netflix’s most streamed movie of 2019.
With its packed cast and nostalgic charm, Happy Gilmore 2 is sure to delight fans of Adam Sandler’s signature brand of humor. The exact release date for the film remains unknown, but it’s clear that this sequel has been worth the 28-year wait.
