Adam Sandler Stars Happy Gilmore 2 Netflix Sequel July

Adam Sandler returns as Happy Gilmore in the Netflix sequel 'Happy Gilmore 2,' premiering on July 25, 2025, nearly 30 years after the original film. The sequel features many original cast members, including Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit and Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, with new additions such as Bad Bunny and appearances by celebrities and professional golfers. The story follows Happy, now older and out of practice, returning to golf to raise money for his daughter's ballet school tuition, with his real-life daughter Sunny Sandler playing the role of his daughter Vienna. The film continues Sandler's tradition of integrating product placements, notably reuniting with Subway, which offers a special 'Happy Gilmore Meal' promotion tied to the movie's release. Meanwhile, Sandler's earlier comedy 'Big Daddy' has seen renewed popularity on streaming platforms like HBO Max and Netflix ahead of the sequel's debut, despite its mixed critical reception. The upcoming release highlights Sandler's enduring appeal and loyalty to original cast and themes, defying Hollywood norms around age and casting.
