At first, it was a joke. A viral golf swing, a post from the past, and Adam Sandler with a sly smile.
But that swing? It wasn’t simply for fun. It was a shot to warn.
Happy Gilmore, the rage-filled golfer who changed the sports comedy world more than 25 years ago, is back—and this time it’s personal. There were rumors for months, with vague hints, interviews with the cast, and Reddit users putting the pieces together. It’s real now. Happy Gilmore 2 is officially coming out, and it will bring back all the things fans loved: golf balls to the face, crazy tantrums, and a villain that was always there but never truly went away.
Shooter McGavin’s reign of petty isn’t done yet. And Happy? He still has the swing.
Netflix Locks The Happy Gilmore 2 Release Date
The wait is almost over: Happy Gilmore 2 will come out on Netflix on July 25, 2025.
After years of rumors and quiet work behind the scenes, the comedy sequel is finally ready to come back to theaters this summer. Netflix has made the movie one of its biggest comedies of the year, putting it right in the middle of their large July roster.

Happy Gilmore 2 won’t be shown in theaters at all, unlike the first movie, which came out in 1996. This time, you won’t need a golf cart to get the action, drama, and crazy golf stunts right to your living room.
So, write down July 25, 2025, as the day to tee off.

Who’s Back for Happy Gilmore 2? The Cast We Know (and Hope For)
Confirmed Cast:
- Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore – The hot-headed golf great is back on the course, older yet still hard to anticipate.
- Christopher McDonald is Shooter McGavin – Still full of yourself. Still angry. And maybe even stronger than before.
Most Likely to Come Back:
- Virginia Venit – Julie Bowen – Rumored to play Happy’s long-time partner or manager again.
- Otto the Caddy by Allen Covert – A fan-favorite sidekick who might be teaching the next generation of golf weirdos.
Rumored or Fan-Wanted Cameos:
- Ben Stiller plays Hal L. in Happy Madison – In some kind crossover cameo, fans want him back.
- Gary Potter is Kevin Nealon – If fan theories are right, they could show up in a “Legends Match.”
- Steve Buscemi, Rob Schneider, and David Spade – There are no confirmations, but a Sandler sequel wouldn’t be proper without at least one of them.
Fan Reactions: “Give Me Club-Smashing Chaos or Give Me Death”
The Happy Gilmore 2 trailer lit up the internet like a rogue golf cart on the freeway. Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok are exploding with reactions — part nostalgia, part hype, and a whole lot of Shooter hate.
