Adam Sandler is back on the golf course in the first teaser for Netflix’s “Happy Gilmore 2,” nearly 29 years after the original movie became one of his most beloved roles.
Netflix and Adam Sandler posted the first teaser for “Happy Gilmore 2” early on Christmas, as the streamer broadcast two NFL games live on the platform for the first time ever.
Sandler’s professional golfer returns for the sequel, coming to Netflix in 2025, with some old and new companions. Julie Bowen is back as Virginia Venit, Happy’s love interest, and so is Christopher McDonald as rival golfer Shooter McGavin. Newcomers to the sequel include Bad Bunny, “The Substance” star Margaret Qualley, comedian and longtime Sandler collaborator Nick Swardson, NFL superstar Travis Kelce, Scott Mescudi, aka rapper Kid Cudi, and Benny Safdie. The sequel also marks the 13th film on which Sandler has collaborated with writing partner Tim Herlihy, who worked on Saturday Night Live alongside the comic as his star rose, as well as then-SNL writer Tina Fey, in the early 1990s (credit Herlihy for Sandler’s classic Canteen Boy character on SNL). When Sandler exited the show, the two began collaborating on the broad man-child-out-of-water comedies that made Sandler a star, starting with the one-two punch of Billy Madison in 1995 and Happy Gilmore the following year.
