What to Expect from Happy Gilmore 2
Twenty-nine years after winning his first Tour Championship, Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) returns to golf.
This time, his motivation isn't just a title, but rather to finance his daughter Vienna's ballet school, which requires $300,000 to attend in Paris.
Happy hasn't played golf in years, so his return to the greens may be more challenging than expected.
The sequel has been in development for a long time.
In September 2022, Adam Sandler expressed his desire to make a sequel and began developing story ideas, including Happy's character being involved in a senior golf tour.
In March 2024, Christopher McDonald, who plays Shooter McGavin, confirmed that the sequel was in development and that Sandler had shown him a draft of the script.
Netflix officially signed on to produce the film in May 2024, taking over from Universal Pictures, which distributed the first film.
Principal photography began on September 9, 2024, Sandler's 58th birthday, in New Jersey and concluded on December 10, 2024.
The death of Carl Weathers, who played Chubbs Peterson, in February 2024, led to significant script rewrites to honor his character.
Global Release Schedule and Airtime
Happy Gilmore 2 is scheduled for a global release on Netflix on Friday, July 25, 2025.
The film's premiere time will be adjusted according to each region's time zone.

Topgolf locations will also hold special screenings.
In Times Square, New York City, the New Year's ball atop One Times Square was even replaced with a giant golf ball as part of the promotion.
