PREMIUM — HAPPY GILMORE, Adam Sandler, 1996 via Canadian Press Images

A sequel to Happy Gilmore is officially coming to Netflix.

The streamer officially announced Happy Gilmore 2 with Adam Sandler returning in the starring role during its upfront presentation to advertisers on Wednesday.

Released in 1996, Happy Gilmore starred Sandler as a failed hockey player with a power slapshot and massive temper who tries his hand at golf. Nearly three decades later, it remains one of Sandler’s most beloved comedic ventures.

Sandler previously expressed interest in making a Happy Gilmore sequel in a 2021. Earlier this year, Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin in the original film, let it slip that Sandler was working on a draft for Happy Gilmore 2. Sandler’s longtime friend and collaborator Drew Barrymore subsequently confirmed (via Sandler himself) that the project was “in process.”
