Adam Sandler teases ‘Happy Gilmore 2’

Adam Sandler and Netflix gave fans a Chrismukkah gift on Wednesday and dropped one teaser for the sequel to his 1996 film, “Happy Gilmore.”

“Happy Gilmore 2” is expected to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2025.

Sandler returns as the title character, a failed ice hockey player turned professional golfer. In the first film, Happy becomes an unlikely golf hero after he enters a professional competition in the hopes of winning a cash prize to help repay his grandmother’s taxes.

“Happy Chanukah! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! And Happy Gilmore everyone!!!!!!” Sandler wrote in an Instagram post Wednesday, sharing teaser.

Julie Bowen, who played Happy’s love interest Virginia Venit, and Christopher McDonald, who played rival golfer Shooter McGavin, also reprise their roles in the sequel.

Screenwriter Tim Herlihy, a former “Saturday Night Live” writer and longtime collaborator of Sandler’s, returned to co-write the script with the actor. Kyle Newacheck, who directed Sandler in Netflix’s “Murder Mystery,” helmed the sequel.

New to the ensemble include: rapper Bad Bunny, Margaret Qualley (fresh from her role in “The Substance”), Nick Swardson (who regularly collaborates with Sandler) and Benny Safdie (who wrote and directed Sandler’s “Uncut Gems” film). The teaser also featured a cameo from NFL superstar Travis Kelce, who is seen saying, “it’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore.”

Netflix had announced the film’s sequel in May.

In September, Sandler shared a photo of Happy’s Boston Bruins jersey to Instagramwrites: “It’s not over. The way I see it… we’re only just getting started.”

In an interview with “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon in August, Sandler talked about how the sequel came to be.

“People have been asking me for a long time, ‘Make Gilmore happy 2,’ and I always thought, ‘Nah, I’m just letting you down,'” he said. “But then me and my buddy, Tim Herlihy, came up with this idea. We’re really excited about it. We worked our ass off. We’re going to keep trying to make it a movie that you’re going to like.”

The movie shot in New Jersey earlier this year.
