Yo, grab your hockey stick and golf clubs, because Adam Sandler's bringing back Happy Gilmore for a second swing in Happy Gilmore 2 ! It's been almost 30 years since we first saw Happy tear up the golf course, and now he's back for more chaos, laughs, and that epic slapshot swing. The big day's coming up quick—mark July 25, 2025, for the premiere! Here's the lowdown on what's coming, who's in it, and why it's gonna be a blast. What Was the First One About Again?
Okay, quick rewind for anyone who hasn't watched Happy Gilmore in a minute (or if you've been living under a rock). Back in '96, Sandler played Happy Gilmore, a hockey player with a temper and a wicked slapshot. When his grandma's house gets threatened by the bank, Happy finds out his hockey swing makes him a beast at golf. He joins the pro tour, pisses off the snooty golfer Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald), and wins over the crowd with his wild energy. With help from his coach Chubbs (Carl Weathers) and PR gal Virginia (Julie Bowen), Happy saves the day, wins the big tournament, and gives us lines like 'The price is wrong, Bob!' that we're still quoting. The movie made bank—$40 million on a $12 million budget—and became a comedy classic. What's Going Down in the Sequel?
So, Happy Gilmore 2 picks up years later. Happy's retired from golf, chilling with his family, but he's gotta jump back into the game to save his daughter Vienna's ballet school, which costs, like, $75,000 a year. Dude's still got that fiery temper, and he's facing off against a new generation of golfers while dealing with his old nemesis, Shooter McGavin. The trailers tease a wild graveyard showdown with Shooter and Happy smashing a golf simulator in a rage. It's got that mix of goofy humor and heart, with Happy trying to be a good dad while still being, well, Happy. Exact plot details are hush-hush, but it's gonna lean into family vibes and keeping Happy's legacy alive. And yeah, it's all dropping on July 25, 2025, so get your Netflix ready! Who's Showing Up?
The cast is stacked, mixing OG players with some fresh faces: Adam Sandler is back as Happy, still slinging insults and monster drives.
Julie Bowen returns as Virginia, now Happy's wife. They've got kids, and the trailers show them smooching and keeping the spark alive.
Christopher McDonald is Shooter McGavin, still a slimy jerk trying to one-up Happy.
Ben Stiller pops back in as Hal L., that creepy orderly from the first movie, now running some weird support group.
New folks include: Bad Bunny as Happy's caddy, bringing some serious swagger. Margaret Qualley , who got the gig after her hubby Jack Antonoff bragged about her golf skills to Sandler. Travis Kelce , the football star, with a quick cameo as a waiter hyping up Happy's return. Sunny Sandler , Adam's real-life daughter, playing Happy's kid Vienna, tying into the ballet school plot. Plus, big names like Eminem , Post Malone , Eric André , and golf legends like Nelly Korda and Jack Nicklaus dropping in for cameos.
Sadly, some originals like Carl Weathers (Chubbs), Bob Barker, and Frances Bay (Grandma) have passed away, but the movie's got a nod to Chubbs' spirit to keep his vibe alive.
