Get ready for a hole-in-one of epic proportions! Netflix has just dropped the debut trailer for Happy Gilmore 2, teeing off on July 25th, 2025. Adam Sandler returns to his iconic role almost 30 years after the original film delighted audiences in 1996. He's joined by familiar faces including Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and the ever-villainous Christopher McDonald, reprising his role as Shooter McGavin.

Need a refresher on the original Happy Gilmore? Here's Netflix's recap:

The original Happy Gilmore ended with Sandler's character finally at peace after a whirlwind golf season (and a memorable brawl with Bob Barker!). His mission: raise money to pay his grandmother's back taxes. His method? Becoming the most unconventional golfer the Tour Championship had ever seen. Along the way, he made friends (Chubbs Petersen and his caddy) and enemies (Shooter McGavin and Bob Barker), ultimately triumphing against all odds, saving his grandmother's house, and returning home a champion. How the sequel will resurrect his golf career remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: Happy Gilmore is a legend.

Development of Happy Gilmore 2 began in March 2024, with Netflix officially ordering the sequel in May of the same year. The film is directed by Kyle Newacheck, from a script by Sandler and Tim Herlihy.
