Happy Gilmore 2: Release date, time, cast, where and how to watch
The long-awaited sequel to the 1996 sports comedy classic arrives on Netflix this July, featuring a star-studded cast and a nostalgic return to the green.
After almost three decades, Adam Sandler is finally coming out with the sequel to his film Happy Gilmore, which is officially set to hit Netflix this Friday. Fans of the original 1996 comedy will finally get to see Sandler return as the hot-headed hockey player-turned-golfer in a sequel that blends nostalgia with a modern cast.
The sequel’s creative pitch, according to a Screen Rant report, was made in 2022, but the passing of Carl Weathers (Chubbs Peterson) in 2024 led to major script rewrites. Sandler, now 58, felt a responsibility to get the sequel right. Given the longstanding film deal with Netflix, it was natural for Sandler to pick the streaming giant as the platform for its release, the report added.
