For those needing a refresher, here's Netflix's recap of the original Happy Gilmore:
The original Happy Gilmore ended with Sandler's character finally finding peace after a whirlwind golf season (and a memorable brawl with Bob Barker!). His mission: raise money to cover his grandmother's back taxes. This led him to become the most unconventional golfer the Tour Championship had ever seen. He made friends (like the unforgettable Chubbs Petersen), enemies (Shooter McGavin and Bob Barker), but ultimately triumphed against the odds, saving his grandmother's home.
How Happy Gilmore 2 will resurrect his golf career remains a mystery, but one thing's for sure: Happy Gilmore is a legend, even among the world's best golfers.
Development of Happy Gilmore 2 began in March 2024, with Netflix officially ordering the sequel in May. Kyle Newacheck directs, with a script by Sandler and Tim Herlihy.
