Nearly three decades after the cult classic first hit screens in 1996, Adam Sandler is back with 'Happy Gilmore 2', and the sequel is already making waves

"Happy Gilmore 2" releases on Netflix July 25, and the Adam Sandler-starring sequel is filled with familiar faces including Travis Kelce and Post Malone.

Sandler movies are known for their cameos, which date back to the 1990s, and Happy Gilmore 2 feels like a blend of some of those earlier movies, as well as the original Happy Gilmore movie, but on steroids. It features stars from yesteryear and today in minor roles.

A lot of professional golfers made cameos in "Happy Gilmore 2," but one of them impressed Scottie Scheffler the most with how funny his part was.

Happy Gilmore 2 just dropped on Netflix, and while it’s probably not going to win any Oscars, most fans seem to be really pleased with the sequel, me included. It’s a goofy good time with some big laughs and a ton of cameos and returning characters. It also includes one big WTF death scene that left me and the actress involved absolutely shocked.

Happy Gilmore 2 was released on July 25, 2025, on Netflix. The movie, which is directed by Kyle Newacheck, has Adam Sandler playing Happy Gilmore again. Happy goes back to the golf course after almost three decades.

Happy Gilmore 2 dropped on Netflix on July 25, 2025, nearly thirty years after the 1996 original. The film was helmed by Kyle Newacheck while Adam Sandler wrote the script with Tim Herlihy.

After much anticipation and a 29-year wait, Adam Sandler returned as the hot-tempered, big-hitting golf legend in “Happy Gilmore 2,” released on Netflix on Friday. As expected, the film was chock-full of cameos, many of them by real-life golfers and several of them with strong ties to the D-FW area.

Adam Sandler returns as the hotheaded golfer in a follow-up that trades scrappy irreverence for overstuffed bombast.
