Netflix's "Happy Gilmore 2" trailer reveals a star-studded cast including Ben Stiller, Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, and more.
Cameos by Eminem, Post Malone, and Becky Lynch are also teased in the trailer.
The sequel, co-written by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy, sees the return of Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin.
Adam Sandler is taking another swing at "Happy Gilmore" with help from some major stars.
During Netflix's Tudum event on May 31, the streamer debuted a new trailer for the comedian's highly anticipated sequel "Happy Gilmore 2."
The footage teased a movie packed to the brim with cameos, starting with the trailer's opening scene in which Happy Gilmore falls flat on his face while golfing, as witnessed by Eric Andre, Margaret Qualley and Martin Herlihy.
Later, Travis Kelce appears in a scene with Bad Bunny, Ben Stiller returns as orderly Hal, and several real television personalities like Ken Jennings and Stephen A. Smith pop up during a montage. The trailer also includes short glimpses of appearances by Eminem, Post Malone, Becky Lynch and more.
Outside of the cameos, the main cast of "Happy Gilmore 2" includes Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, the latter of whom returns as Shooter McGavin. Sandler wrote the screenplay for "Happy Gilmore 2" with Tim Herlihy, his co-writer on the original movie, which was released in Feb. 16, 1996.
The comedian has teased several of the film's cameos in interviews.
Sandler said on the "Dan Patrick Show" in December that he filmed for a day with Eminem, who "said a million things we can use." Sandler noted at the time that "I've known Eminem for a long time, and he's a great guy."
Qualley, meanwhile, has said that her role in "Happy Gilmore 2" is small, but that her husband Jack Antonoff helped convince Sandler to cast her because she's such a fan of the original. On "The Tonight Show," she joked that Antonoff lied to Sandler by claiming Qualley is good at golf in order to secure her a role.
"He lied for the sake of the family," Qualley joked. "I've never golfed a day in my life. I'm terrible, actually."
When is 'Happy Gilmore 2' coming out?
"Happy Gilmore 2" will be released on July 25, 2025.

Netflix just got this forgotten action-thriller with Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford — but there's a problem
Netflix has confirmed its slate for June 2025, and among the many new originals and library titles added to the streaming service this month is 'The Devil's Own.' Never heard of it? It's an action-thriller from 1997 that stars Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt, the latter sporting a pretty iffy Northern Irish accent to boot. Considering its star power and on-paper gripping tale of deception and undercover criminal dealings, it sounds like the perfect recipe for a forgotten movie that will earn a deserved reprieve via its re-emergence on Netflix U.S. However, there's a slight problem here ... let's just say the movie has been largely forgotten by the passage of time for a reason. It's not exactly great. It's not all bad, but there are some pretty significant drawbacks. If you've spotted 'The Devil's Own' in the 'new on Netflix' section this week, and want to know a little more about this '90s movie, here's the scoop on why it's not quite a must-watch, but might still be worth streaming in a pinch. Opening quite literally with a bang, 'The Devil's Own' sees IRA member Frankie McGuire (Brad Pitt) leave behind his traumatic past in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the height of The Troubles to travel to New York City. Adopting the alias, Rory Devaney, Frankie isn't in the Big Apple for a spot of sightseeing or to build international ties; he's come to America to purchase a cache of missiles to ship back to Ireland to help his allies fight back against the British forces. Staying at the home of Irish-American cop Tom O'Meara (Harrison Ford), who is unaware of his true identity, Frankie's clandestine mission becomes increasingly complicated as he brushes shoulders with the mob. And there's also the persistent danger of his true motivations being uncovered by Tom. Even as somebody with a huge bias towards anything related to Northern Ireland (my entire family hails from the region), I just can't deny the overall spotty quality of 'The Devil's Own.' It's very much a movie of two halves. The first portion stands out as genuinely quite compelling, with Pitt's arrival in NYC and attempts to conceal this identity drawing you in, and his developing relationship with Ford's O'Meara is an early high point. Sadly, the action-thriller starts to creak under the weight of its increasingly outlandish narrative as it crawls towards its conclusion. The climax gets bogged down in too many illogical twists and turns, with characters making frustrating decisions that seem born out of narrative convenience rather than because they make sense in the moment. It's also a shame the movie doesn't play more with expectations by asking you to consider who the villain of the piece really is, or challenge you to consider how far somebody can justifiably go to fight for a cause they believe in. On the flip side, at least the performances are generally strong. Brad Pitt is in his full '90s swagger, delivishly handsome, and with enough (Irish) charm to convince those around him of his innocence. Harrison Ford is a great foil, a straight-edged police officer looking to do the right thing, but struggling with the morally grey world around him and his own misplaced loyalty to his hot-headed partner. Both actors have been in better movies, but are solid here. The movie's critical reception matches my pretty lukewarm stance. 'The Devil's Own' holds a poor 37% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and while viewers are kinder, only by a small margin, rating it 41%. So, it's not exactly a '90s flick that can be considered a cult classic. I do think the movie's critical score verges on a little harsh. It's by no means a terrible movie, just a forgettable one with some clear flaws. But if you choose to watch, you'll find enough positives not to feel it's a total washout. There are undoubtedly better action-thriller movies on Netflix already (such as the recent addition 'The Town'), but if you have a desire to see '90s Brad Pitt and an ever-so-slightly less grouchy Ford on screen together, 'The Devil's Own' will hold your attention throughout. Even if it does test your patience a bit. Meanwhile, if you want to browse Netflix's full list of new additions this month, here's a guide to everything new on Netflix in June 2025, which covers all the movies and TV shows you'll want to add to your watchlist in the weeks ahead.

Marc Maron to end his ‘WTF' podcast after 15 years of interviewing comics, actors, musicians, Obama
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comic and actor Marc Maron said Monday that he's ending his popular and influential podcast 'WTF with Marc Maron' after nearly 16 years. Maron said on a newly released episode that the last of the nearly 2,000 episodes he has hosted will be released later this year. 'Sixteen years we've been doing this, and we've decided that we had a great run,' Maron said. 'Now, basically, it's time, folks. It's time. 'WTF' is coming to an end. It's our decision. We'll have our final episode sometime in the fall.' The 61-year-old Maron said he and producing partner Brendan McDonald are 'tired' and 'burnt out' but 'utterly satisfied with the work we've done.' Maron was a veteran stand-up comic who had dabbled in radio when he started the show in 2009, at a time when stand-ups were trying out the form in big numbers, and many listeners still downloaded episodes on to iPods. The show early on was often about Maron talking through his beefs with fellow comedians, but it soon stood out and became a widely heard and medium-defining show with its thoughtful, probing longform interviews of cultural figures. It became a key stop on press tours for authors, actors and musicians and reached a peak when then- President Barack Obama visited Maron's makeshift Los Angeles garage studio for an episode in 2015. Maron used a simple interview style to get guests to share stories they'd rarely told elsewhere. Seeking to know the biggest influences on their lives and careers, Maron would ask, 'Who are your guys?' Other memorable episodes include a 2010 personal and emotional interview with Robin Williams that was re-posted and widely listened to after Williams' death in 2014. The episode earned a place in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress. Maron kept doing standup specials and expanded his acting career while the show aired, including a three-season run on the Netflix series 'GLOW.' The show's guitar-rock theme song opened with a clip of Maron shouting, 'Lock the gates!' in his role as a promoter in the film 'Almost Famous.' The solo episode openings became a confessional space for Maron where he talked about his life, relationships, years of doing stand-up comedy and struggles with drug addiction. Maron gave tearful tribute to his girlfriend, director Lynn Shelton , in the episode after her death in 2020. 'People who listen to the podcast know me pretty well, and it's all good. They have a relationship with me that's one sided, but it's real and I try to be as gracious about that as possible,' Maron told The Associated Press in 2019. 'My particular little slice of the show business world is very me specific and it's very personal and usually that's a good thing. But I've had to learn how to balance how much of my life I reveal and what I keep to myself, and try to find a little space.'

‘Squid Game' Season 3 Trailer: Lee Jung-jae Seeks to Destroy the Competition Once and For All
The highly-anticipated third season of 'Squid Game' has almost commenced — and the competition is more fierce than ever. Lee Jung-jae reprises his lead role for Season 3, which takes place three years after the events of the first 'Squid Game.' Now, Gi-hun (Lee) is determined to destroy the games for good and has spent his prize money only to support his cause. After Gi-hun convinced his fellow players to overpower the Squid Game guards during the Season 2 finale, Gi-hun is back confronting the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) as Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) looks for the island. More from IndieWire Sheryl Lee Ralph Remembers Sidney Poitier's Early Support: 'I Expect Great Things from You' 'Squid Game' Creator Teases Potential Spinoff: 'I Want to Show What They Did' Between Seasons 1 and 2 'Squid Game 2' premiered in December 2024 and debuted to 68 million views in its first week. Netflix announced at the time that it was a record for the streamer and beat out the previous one set by 'Wednesday' in 2022, which managed only 50.1 million views. 'Squid Game' Season 2 was seven episodes and ended on a cliffhanger. The season also introduced a new characters such as Dae-ho (Kang Ha-neul), Hyun-ju (Park Sung-hoon), Yong-sik (Yang Dong-geun), Geum-ja (Kang Ae-sim), Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri), and the games' guard No-eul (Park Gyu-young). Hwang Dong-hyuk is the creator and showrunner of 'Squid Game.' IndieWire's review for Season 2 cited how the continuation felt like 'the standard sequel to a Hollywood blockbuster' thanks in part to the 'bigger, bolder style that tends to come with extra resources.' Critic Ben Travers wrote, 'Season 2 is more like half-a-season, complete with a cliffhanger ending. For anyone satisfied with the first competition, the seven new episodes are still likely to provide enough visceral entertainment or vicarious thrills to merit a return trip. Season 2 continues to capitalize on a premise that's instinctively absorbing — who will win and who will lose, who will play with honor and who will debase themselves, who will we identify with and who will we vilify. The slightly trickier questions — the ones that last a little longer than the length of each game — are when and why: When does a character cross a line? Why do they cross it? And can we empathize with their justifications for doing so?' Season 3 will be the final season for 'Squid Game,' but the franchise could continue with David Fincher being rumored to direct an English-language spinoff for Netflix. 'Squid Game' Season 3 premieres June 27 on Netflix. Check out the trailer below.
