Guess who’s back on the golf course after almost 30 years? Adam Sandler is stepping back into his Timberlands and hockey jersey as Happy Gilmore in the highly anticipated sequel, Happy Gilmore 2!
Netflix is bringing the beloved, hotheaded golf hero back to life, and he’s not coming alone.
Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald are reprising their iconic roles as Virginia Venit and the smug Shooter McGavin, respectively.
Plus, joining the chaos is global superstar Bad Bunny (aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio).
‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Teaser That Hits Harder Than A Happy Drive
Fans got their first peek at the sequel with a special teaser featuring Sandler squaring off with McDonald’s Shooter McGavin.
The clip also includes a festive vibe, season’s greetings, and glimpses of familiar and fresh faces, including NFL star Travis Kelce, who hilariously sums up what we’re all thinking: “It’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore.”
Sandler himself teased the return back in September with an Instagram Easter egg, showing off the classic Bruins jersey we all know and love.
Familiar Faces & Fresh Talent
The Happy Gilmore 2 cast is stacked with talent, combining fan favorites from the original with exciting new stars:
- Adam Sandler (Hustle, Murder Mystery) as Happy Gilmore
- Christopher McDonald (Thelma & Louise, The House Bunny) as Shooter McGavin
- Julie Bowen (Modern Family, Hubie Halloween) as Virginia Venit
- Bad Bunny (Narcos: Mexico, Bullet Train)
- Travis Kelce, Conor Sherry, Ethan Cutowsky, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, & Phillip Fine Schneider
A Look Back: Where We Left Happy
The original 1996 Happy Gilmore saw Sandler’s unconventional golfer battling IRS debts to save his grandma’s house.
Along the way, he formed unlikely alliances (shoutout to Carl Weathers’ Chubbs Petersen) and took down snooty golf elitists, cementing his legend status.
How will Happy return to the green after hanging up his clubs?
That’s still under wraps, but with the original team—including co-writer Tim Herlihy and producer Dennis Dugan—back in action, fans are in for a wild ride.

Why ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Matters

Whether you’re here for Sandler, Shooter McGavin, or Bad Bunny’s big-screen debut, one thing is clear: Happy Gilmore 2 is teeing up to be a Netflix smash hit.
