Buckle up! Almost 30 years after the cult classic, the hottest-blooded golfer of all time returns to the screen – and Netflix has just served us the first full trailer for "Happy Gilmore 2"!

The trailer was unveiled on May 31 during the Netflix Tudum 2025 fan event, and we can hardly wait until the film premieres on Netflix on July 25. Who needs a summer vacation when you can watch Adam Sandler lose his cool?

What We Know About the Plot

In the sequel, set almost three decades after the original, Happy Gilmore (now 58-year-old Sandler) returns to the golf course – and for a reason we can all relate to: He needs money for his daughter's college education!

As seen in the trailer, Happy is still struggling with his notorious temper, and his old anger management techniques aren't working as well as they used to. But the best part? His old nemesis Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) is back too! This rivalry will definitely lead to explosive scenes!

The INSANELY Star-Studded Cast

Alongside Sandler, several stars from the original return:

  • Julie Bowen als Happys Liebe Virginia Venit
  • Christopher McDonald als der fiese Shooter McGavin
  • Ben Stiller als Hal
  • Dennis Dugan als Doug Thompson
  • Allen Covert als Otto

But that's not all! Netflix has assembled a CRAZY lineup of stars for the sequel:

Bad Bunny as Happy's Caddie? CHECK!
Travis Kelce? CHECK!
Eminem? CHECK!
Margaret Qualley, Benny Safdie, Blake Clark... the list goes on endlessly!

And for all golf fans, there are a number of REAL golf pros to admire: John Daly, Paige Spiranac, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and many more!

Even Sandler's daughters Sadie and Sunny have snagged roles in the film – this is definitely a family project!

Behind the Scenes

Kyle Newacheck (who previously worked with Sandler on "Murder Mystery") takes the director's chair, while Sandler himself, along with his longtime collaborator Tim Herlihy, has written the screenplay. Dennis Dugan, the director of the original, is on board this time as an executive producer.

The chemistry between Sandler and McDonald seems to still work perfectly after all these years – their confrontation scenes in the trailer promise just the right mix of nostalgia and fresh humor!

This film looks like the PERFECT summer activity for anyone who grew up in the '90s or just wants to enjoy a chaotic golf movie. Mark July 25th in your calendars and get ready for a wild ride!

Happy Gilmore, we missed you!
