For those needing a refresher, here's Netflix's recap of the original Happy Gilmore:
The original Happy Gilmore concluded with Sandler's character finally finding peace after a chaotic golf season (and a memorable brawl with Bob Barker). His quest to pay his grandmother's back taxes led him to become the most unconventional golfer the Tour Championship had ever seen. Happy forged alliances (with the unforgettable Chubbs Petersen and a homeless caddy) and clashed with rivals (Shooter McGavin and Bob Barker), ultimately overcoming the odds, saving his grandmother's home, and returning home victorious. How his golf career will be resurrected in the sequel remains to be seen, but one thing's certain: Happy Gilmore is a legend.
Development of Happy Gilmore 2 began in March 2024, with Netflix officially ordering the sequel in May 2024. The film is directed by Kyle Newacheck, with a script by Sandler and Tim Herlihy.
