Sandler, Christopher McDonald and Julie Bowen were among cast members who appeared onstage at Netflix's Tudum presentation on Saturday, introduced by sports commentator Rich Eisen.
The trailer showed Sandler breaking into another new caddy — and this time it's Bad Bunny.
On the Tudum stage, the kids who play Sandler's children in the movie joked, 'Is there actually anyone under 60 in this movie?'
Other cameos onstage and in the movie include Jon Lovitz.
A teaser trailer in March showed Sandler's former pro hockey player character worrying about facing off against PGA champions and eventually returning to the golf course. 'Happy Gilmore 2' begins streaming July 25 on Netflix.
Returning cast members from the 1996 original include Bowen, McDonald and Ben Stiller, plus newcomers such as Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, Margaret Qualley, Benny Safdie and Sandler's daughters Sadie and Sunny. Professional golfers John Daly, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and more also appear in the sequel.
Though Kelce didn't appear in the shorter teaser, Sandler said on 'The Tonight Show' that fans would be happy to see him in the sequel.
'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.'
'Happy Gilmore 2' is directed by Kyle Newacheck, who directed Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in Netflix's 'Murder Mystery,' and co-written by Sandler and the original film's Tim Herlihy, while director Dennis Dugan is back as an executive producer.

Netflix is about to lose the wildest psychological thriller of 2024 — here's your last chance to stream it
"Trap" is one of 2024's more infamous releases; you don't need to look far to find plenty of critics and viewers telling you to steer clear of the M. Night Shyamalan thriller... but I'm no "Trap" denier. I saw this twisting thriller in theaters and left with a smile on my face; despite its flaws, "Trap" is a ton of fun. And, seeing as this movie is leaving Netflix very soon, now seems as good a time as any to recommend it to would-be viewers. Yes, now that we have Netflix's June schedule, we know that your last day to stream "Trap" on Netflix is Tuesday, June 10. As of the time of writing, that means you've got just one week left to stream "Trap" on Netflix, at the time of writing. If you need convincing, you can find a little more info about the movie — and why I think "Trap" is worth adding to your watchlist — below. "Trap" sees American firefighter and picture-perfect suburban dad Cooper Abbott (Josh Hartnett), taking his teen daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to see her favorite popstar, Lady Raven (Saleka Shyamalan) in concert... where something sinister is about to go down. Turns out the cops believe that a grisly serial killer known as "The Butcher" is also in attendance, so they've got the whole place locked down to finally bring his reign of terror to an end. And given we learn Cooper's the one with a killer secret mere minutes into the film, that presents him with a major problem. How on earth is he going to make it out of the arena? Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In addition to Hartnett, Donohue, and Shyamalan, "Trap" also stars Alison Pill, Hayley Mills, Jonathan Langdon, Marnie McPhail-Diamond, and Mark Bacolcol, among others. Look, I'm not entirely sure that "Trap" is actually a good movie, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a good time when I saw it in theaters. Chiefly, that's because of our protagonist. Josh Hartnett's playful performance is worth the price of admission alone. Watching Cooper puzzle out his predicament is a real treat precisely because Hartnett is so invested in the role. It's the same commitment that makes his recent action-comedy "Bullet Train" riff, "Fight or Flight" work so well. He's committed to doing as much as possible with this absurdly silly conceit. And, while "Trap" at times feels like little more than a way to promote Saleka's music career, when we're outside the concert hall, it's packed with increasingly absurd turns that make it worth sticking with. "Trap" is assuredly messy and will doubtless not work for everyone, but if you can revel in Hartnett's killer charisma and buy into campy storytelling, this is a entertaining ride that lives up to the "thriller" label. Critically, the reaction could politely be described as "mixed." At the time of writing, "Trap" currently holds a 57% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with a slightly higher 64% score from fellow moviegoers. As an example of what reviewers had to say, THR's Lovia Gyarkye described "Trap" as "a concert movie for Shyamalan's daughter [...] wrapped in a middling thriller kept afloat by a compelling performance from Josh Hartnett." Entertainment Weekly reviewer Jordan Hoffman called "Trap" Shyamalan's "most preposterous movie yet" and "a film mostly of surface pleasures," but adds "there's a lot of fun waiting to be had for those willing to check any large items like scrutiny or skepticism before entering the arena." Empire's Dan Jolin offers a more negative take, giving it a 2-star rating and calling it "an oddly inert wannabe nail-biter", summing "Trap" up as "an initially cool premise that goes nowhere interesting as it heads off somewhere else too quickly. Hartnett does his best, but director Shyamalan seems more interested in trying to convince us of his daughter's pop-star credentials." Nevertheless, I do think there's some fun to be had with "Trap," and if your interest is piqued, I'd strongly recommend streaming "Trap" on Netflix before it leaves the platform on June 10. Not convinced? We can still help you find something new to watch. Check out our round-up of the best movies on Netflix for tons more streaming recommendations perfect for your next movie night.

'Dramatic Shift In Commissioning' Could Be Problem For British TV Industry, Says Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy
A 'dramatic shift in TV commissioning' has seen the UK become a world leader in high-end drama while the value of smaller shows plummets, according to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy. Delivering a keynote at the Deloitte Conference, Nandy said 'too many talented creatives have been left out of work' by this shift, leaving her concerned. More from Deadline Netflix EMEA Chief Puts 'Mr Bates' Debate To Bed: "We Absolutely Would Have Commissioned It In The UK" Sony's Wayne Garvie Roasts "Ridiculous" Channel 4 In-House Plan: "It Could Be Potentially Disastrous" BBC Director General Floats Concerning Vision Of Future Where "People Don't Care" About Nation's Oldest Public Broadcaster She said this has come as broadcast viewing declines by one third while streaming 'soars,' leading to a change in the content mix. 'Take, for example, the dramatic shift in TV commissioning patterns that have seen the UK become a world leader at high-end [drama] at the same time as smaller producers have seen the value of their commissions fall by one third,' she said. The 'squeezed middle' dropping out of the UK indie market was the talk of last year's Edinburgh TV Festival, although 2025 has been characterized by a scripted funding crisis driven by American co-producers pulling out of the UK. Nandy said the UK government is providing solutions, however. She flagged improvements like the recent Media Act, providing a 'more sustainable settlement for PSBs so they continue to invest in high quality original content,' she said. While she pointed to smaller commissions declining, she flagged later in her speech that cheaper fare like Come Dine With Me and 'everything in between' are selling just as well as big high-end dramas like Doctor Who and Bridgerton around the world. Possibly nodding to the UK government's refusal to impose a levy on the streamers, Nandy said she wants a 'sustainable ecosystem' for both PSBs and streamers across the UK. 'We won't penalize you through taxes and levies but ensure we have a regulatory framework that creates opportunities for business both big and small and for UK talent to be showcased across the world,' added Nandy. Nandy was speaking at the Deloitte and Enders Media & Telecoms 2025 and Beyond Conference just prior to BBC boss Tim Davie and Netflix EMEA chief Larry Tanz.
