Nearly three decades after the comedy classic “Happy Gilmore,” Adam Sandler is returning to the golf course with a highly anticipated sequel, “Happy Gilmore 2,” set to premiere on Netflix this weekend. Directed by Kyle Newacheck and co-written by Sandler and Tim Herlihy, this sequel sees Happy back in action as he takes up golf again to fund his daughter’s ballet schooling.
Original cast members like Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and Christopher McDonald will reprise their roles, bringing back the beloved characters that fans remember. New to the cast are rapper Bad Bunny and director Benny Safdie, promising to add fresh energy to the mix. Expect a plethora of cameos as well, which have been a staple in Sandler’s films.
Though living up to the charm of the original might be challenging, “Happy Gilmore 2” is poised to deliver plenty of laughs for both longtime fans and newcomers. It will be exclusively available on Netflix, meaning fans looking to catch the film will need a subscription, which offers various plans starting at $7.99 per month.
“Happy Gilmore 2” will become available for streaming on Friday, July 25, at 12 a.m. Pacific Time (3 a.m. Eastern Time), allowing West Coast viewers to enjoy it as early as midnight. If you find yourself unable to locate the film immediately, refreshing your Netflix page or logging out and back in might do the trick.
With its exciting mix of nostalgia and modern comedy, “Happy Gilmore 2” is set to bring joy and laughter to audiences. Sandler’s return to his iconic role serves as a reminder of the impact his original work has had over the years.
