Adam SandlerHappy Gilmore 2′ starring Adam Sandler officially confirmed at Netflix:

It’s official: “Happy Gilmore” is returning for another round. Netflix has confirmed that a sequel to Adam Sandler’s 1996 golf comedy “Happy Gilmore” is on the way. “Happy Gilmore is back!” a post on Netflix’s X account said. “Adam Sandler will reprise his iconic role in a brand new movie coming to Netflix.”

It’s happening: Netflix has officially ordered a sequel to Happy Gilmore.

The streamer announced at its upfront presentation to advertisers on Wednesday that it was moving forward with Happy Gilmore 2 with Adam Sandler on board to reprise his role as the titular rage golfer.

Damn you people, this is golf! The beloved 1996 golf comedy “Happy Gilmore” is getting the sequel treatment from Netflix, with original star Adam Sandler set to return.

The streamer confirmed the film during its upfront presentation to advertisers on Wednesday afternoon in N.Y.

Sandler starred in and co-wrote Universal Pictures’ “Happy Gilmore,” which was directed by Dennis Dugan. The sports comedy remains one of Sandler’s most popular films.

He plays the titular Happy Gilmore, a hockey player with anger management issues who discovers he’s also got a talent for golf. Happy joins the golf tour circuit to win money to save his grandmother’s house and faces off against an arrogant pro named Shooter McGavin, played by Christopher McDonald. The supporting cast also included Julie Bowen and Carl Weathers.

The 1996 comedy stands written by Sandler and Tim Herlihy stands as one of Sandler’s most popular films, telling the store of an ice hockey player who discovers he can channel his anger into winning pro golf tournaments.

Sandler previously told the Dan Patrick Show that the film was in development. “Dude, we’ve been talking about a Happy 2 and we’re working on some stuff… But don’t tell anybody.”

Drew Barrymore also teased the announcement on her talk show, telling viewers, “This just in, I have breaking news…. I’ll just say this, from my source, that [Happy Gilmore 2] is in process.”

Christopher McDonald who played the golfer Shooter McGavin the first film, has suggested his character might return in the sequel. “I saw Adam [Sandler] about two weeks ago, and he says to me, ‘McDonald, you’re gonna love this,’” McDonald said during a radio interview. “I said, ‘What? ‘ He says, ‘How about that,’ and he shows me the first draft of Happy Gilmore 2.’”

Sandler has a $250 million Netflix deal and the actor-comedian has produced eight titles for the streaming service, ranging from the somewhat notorious Western parody The Ridiculous Six to dramedy Sandy Wexler to his acclaimed stand-up special 100% Fresh (which ended up at 90 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, in case you’re wondering). His most recent was the well reviewed teen comedy You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah which premiered on Netflix last August.
