“Happy Gilmore 2” Is Almost Here —Nearly 30 Years After the Original
The excitement is building as fans of the classic comedy “Happy Gilmore” prepare for the release of “Happy Gilmore 2” on Netflix, hitting screens July 25. Nearly three decades after the original, Adam Sandler is back in the iconic role of Happy, and this sequel promises a mix of nostalgia and fresh moments for both old fans and new. “I haven’t swung a club in years,” Happy says in the trailer, as he prepares to return to swing and take on the hottest golfers.
In “Happy Gilmore 2“, Sandler’s character is grappling with aging, humorously reflecting on the need to update his “happy place” to something more age-appropriate. Alongside Sandler, returning cast members like Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin) and Julie Bowen (Virginia Venit) will reprise their roles, while new faces such as Bad Bunny (as Happy’s caddy) and Ben Stiller (as the mischievous orderly) add excitement to the mix.
The sequel shifts slightly in tone, with Happy, now older and less hot-headed, aiming to reclaim his golfing glory in a world that’s passed him by. Fans can expect a blend of humor, heartwarming moments, and guest appearances from celebrities like Eminem, Travis Kielce, Margaret Qualley, Dan Patrick, and pro golfers Justin Thomas and Rory McIlroy.
Directed by Kyle Newacheck and written by Sandler and Tim Herlihy, the film promises to balance the charm of the original with a fresh take, making it one of the most anticipated releases of the summer. “Happy Gilmore 2” drops on Netflix on July 25.
