Netflix has amazed fans of Adam Sandler with an early Christmas gift nobody knew was coming: the first teaser for the most-awaited sequel, Happy Gilmore 2. The legacy sequel that everyone wanted since 1996 after the coming out of the original one is finally arriving due to Sandler's deal with Netflix.
This teaser is very short in form but very exciting. It gives the viewer the impression that the feud between Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin is more than 25 years after and still alive and going well. The sequel does introduce a new storyline that makes Gilmore mentor a "wild young golfer" to win in the major tournament against a protégé, that McGavin trains as well.
While the teaser doesn't reveal much, it offers glimpses of both returning and new characters, including a first look at NFL star Travis Kelce in an undisclosed role. Although a specific release date has not been confirmed, Adam Sandler previously suggested a possible release in April or May 2025, exclusively on Netflix.
Let's break down everything revealed so far about Happy Gilmore 2 and what fans can expect.
