Adam Sandler is heading back to the golf course nearly three decades after Happy Gilmore’s 1996 release.
Netflix announced in May 2024 that Happy Gilmore 2 was in the works with Sandler set to reprise his role as the titular character. The cult classic followed Happy, an unsuccessful ice hockey player, as he discovered his natural talent for golf. He enters a golf tournament hoping to win money to save his grandmother’s house from foreclosure.
Alongside Sandler, the sports comedy also starred Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, Frances Bay, Carl Weathers, Allen Covert and Ben Stiller.
Two months before Netflix confirmed the sequel news, McDonald, who played Sandler’s nemesis Shooter McGavin in the film, teased that Happy Gilmore 2 was in development.

Who Will Star in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’?When the sequel was confirmed in May 2024, Netflix shared that Sandler was expected to reprise his role. Three months later, Sandler confirmed the news and shared that Travis Kelce was also going to be joining him in the film.
“The whole thing was to get to hang out with Travis. That’s why we put it together,” Sandler said of the movie on an August 2024 episode of Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. “We’re going there [to New Jersey]. Travis, by the way, thank you, I heard you talking about [Happy Gilmore 2] on your show, you guys.”
The comedian teased he had a special role in mind for the NFL star, but they ultimately decided not to pursue that direction.
“We were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it, literally, like, six months ago,” Sandler continued. “We were like, imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be. Just a badass.”
That same month, Netflix announced that Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald are set to return for the sequel. “Shooter McGavin and Virginia Venit, please report to the green,” Netflix wrote via X while announcing the news. Minutes later, the streaming service revealed Bad Bunny would also join the cast. In November 2024, Variety reported that Stiller will return as Hal L.
In December 2024, Sandler also confirmed rapper Eminem was making a “funny as hell” cameo in the film during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.
“Eminem was cool. He came by, he was great,” the actor said at the time, though he did not dish on what role the rapper plays in the film. “I’ve known Eminem for a long time, he’s a great guy and he came in and was funny as hell. I think we just hung out a day with Eminem and he just shot and shot and he was insane. He said a million things we can use and a million that we’re glad we have him on tape.”

‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Will Be ‘Hilarious’ Amy Sussman/Getty ImagesWhile attending the 16th Annual AAFCA Awards, Kym Whitley gave Us exclusive insight into her experience working on the film.
“It’s going to be hilarious,” Whitley exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2025. “First of all, Adam Sandler, not only is he funny, is a great guy. When I say great, not only that he’s just a great person, but he reaches back. He gets all his comic friends. He gives us all jobs, and he lets us play around with the script. He’ll be like, ‘Try it! Do this and that!’”
According to Whitley, the script is “stupid funny.”
“The funniest moment on set was a scene where I’m outside Ben Stiller‘s window, and we are acting a fool. Adam Sandler’s daughter is in it,” Whitley added. “We’re scene partners. She’s young and we just get to act crazy. That’s one of my favorite moments.”
Sandler shares daughters Sunny and Sadie with wife Jackie, all of whom make frequent cameos in his projects.
