Adam Sandler back in Netflix sequel

Adam Sandler is back on the golf course in the first teaser for Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2, nearly 29 years after the original film became one of his most popular roles.

Netflix and Adam Sandler released the first teaser for “Happy Gilmore 2” early for Christmas, as the streamer broadcast two NFL games live on the platform for the first time ever.

Sandler’s professional golfer returns for the sequel, which will appear on Netflix in 2025 with some old and new companions. Julie Bowen returns as Virginia Venit, Happy’s lover, as does Christopher McDonald as rival golfer Shooter McGavin. New additions to the sequel include Bad Bunny, The Substance star Margaret Qualley, comedian and longtime Sandler collaborator Nick Swardson, NFL superstar Travis Kelce, Scott Mescudi, aka rapper Kid Cudi, and Benny Safdie, the Sandler directed in “Uncut Gems.”

Kyle Newacheck, who directed Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in Netflix’s “Murder Mystery,” is directing “Happy Gilmore 2.” The sequel was co-written by Tim Herlihy from the original film. Dennis Dugan, the director of the first film, will serve as executive producer, with Jack Giarraputo and Robert Simonds producing.

In the first film, Sandler’s Happy Gilmore, out of control, in need of anger management and a star hockey player, is on a mission to pay back his grandmother’s taxes. He decides to enter a professional golf competition in hopes of winning the big cash prize. This leads the unlikely hero into an atypical adventure that even ends in a violent fistfight with then-host of “The Price Is Right,” Bob Baker.
