For those needing a refresher on the original Happy Gilmore, here’s Netflix’s synopsis:

At the end of the original Happy Gilmore, Sandler’s titular character finally found peace after a grueling golf season, punctuated by a memorable brawl with Bob Barker from The Price Is Right. Driven by the need to raise funds to settle his grandmother’s overdue taxes, the former hockey player turned to golf, bringing an unprecedented style to the Tour Championship.

Throughout his journey, Happy forged alliances with the likes of Carl Weathers’ one-handed Chubbs Petersen and a homeless caddy portrayed by Allen Covert, while making adversaries of Christopher McDonald’s pompous Shooter McGavin and Bob Barker. Despite the odds, Happy emerged victorious, proving his mettle to the golf elite, saving his grandmother’s home, and returning triumphantly to his roots.

The sequel's plot remains under wraps, but it's clear that Happy Gilmore's legacy endures, celebrated even by the world's top golfers.

The development of Happy Gilmore 2 was first hinted at in March 2024, with Netflix officially greenlighting the project in May of the same year. The film is directed by Kyle Newacheck, with a screenplay penned by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy.
