Find Your Happy Gilmore 2 Place

ABLUpdated 2 days Ago2 Mins read1

Happier Gilmore? Happy Gilmost? We can keep workshopping the name, but the fact remains that a Happy Gilmore sequel is coming to Netflix. News of the film first broke (if you don’t count Shooter McGavin blabbin’ on the radio) at Netflix’s Upfront presentation in May 2024. Now, we have our first official trailer, featuring a Happy that’s happy to be back golfing, Julie Bowen, and no alligators in the sky (as of yet). Below, everything we know about the upcoming comedy, from trailer to cast.

Fore! A trailer!

Netflix dropped the Happy Gilmore 2 trailer on March 18, and the Boston Bruins should be ashamed that, the previous night, they lost to the Sabres. Sandler reps the New England team (amid their terrible, terrible season) by wearing a jersey throughout the trailer. Happy, who has not golfed in years, gets back on the green and swings at a ball so heard he burns a hole through a golf simulator. Plus, Ben Stiller takes a break from prestige TV to return as Hal. “Holy shhhhh …” Mr. Gilmore reacts for us all.

Who else will be in Happy Gilmore 2?

Hmmm… what are Lana Del Rey’s avails? On The Tonight Show, Sandler mentioned that many real golfers will be making cameos in the film. Christopher McDonald and Julie Bowen are both back. New cast members include Margaret Qualley, Travis Kelce, and Bad Bunny. Does that mean Taylor Swift is going to attend the premiere?

Carl Weathers, who played Chubbs in the first film, died in February 2024. However, his spirit will live on in the new film, says director Kyle Newacheck to Collider: “You can’t make Happy Gilmore without Chubbs Peterson, it doesn’t exist. You can be assured his spirit is throughout the film. He may not be by Happy’s side anymore, but he’s on his shoulder.”

Margaret Qualley lied on her résumé

Apparently The Tonight Show is getting all the Happy Gilmore 2 ’sclusies. Margaret Qualley went on the show September 24 to share how her husband lied to get her a spot in HG2. Apparently Adam Sandler has a texting relationship with Jack Antonoff. Sandman texted “Jacko. It’s Sandler. Does your wife golf at all?” To which Jacko replied “yeah she’s actually good!” Now, Qualley says she does, in fact, golf. And is not, in fact, good. But Antonoff’s little white lies secured a small part in the Happy Gilmore sequel for Qualley.

KillaTrav will meet the Sandman

First Grotesquerie and now this! Travis Kelce has successfully clawed his way into Happy Gilmore 2. After pleading his case on his New Heights podcast, Sandler decided to give the kid a shot. “Travis has… he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler said on The Tonight Show. “He’s gonna come by. He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud, and he’s so funny.” Sounds like Sandman has a crush. Between Qualley and Kelce, that’s 2 of 2 Happy Gilmore 2 casting announcements straight from Taylor Swift’s squad.

When is Happy Gilmore 2 coming to Netflix?

Happy Gilmore 2 premieres on Netflix on July 25.
