Netflix has unveiled the eagerly anticipated trailer for *Happy Gilmore 2*, set to premiere on the streaming platform on July 25, 2025. In this sequel, Adam Sandler reprises his iconic role as Happy Gilmore, nearly three decades after the original film debuted in 1996.

The trailer introduces new co-stars, including Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (known as Bad Bunny), Adam Sandler's daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler, and Blake Clark. A delightful nod to SpongeBob SquarePants adds a playful touch to the trailer's opening.
Netflix has confirmed that a roster of professional golfers will make appearances in the film, including John Daly, Paige Spiranac, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, and Will Zalatoris. Additionally, NFL star Travis Kelce will make a cameo appearance.
The full cast list for *Happy Gilmore 2* includes:
Notably absent from the current cast list is rapper Eminem, despite Adam Sandler mentioning his cameo last year. It's possible that Netflix is keeping Eminem's involvement under wraps for a future reveal.
For those needing a refresher on the original *Happy Gilmore*, here's Netflix's recap:
At the end of the original *Happy Gilmore*, Sandler’s titular character was finally at rest after a long, strenuous season of golf (and one knockdown brawl with The Price Is Right’s Bob Barker). On a mission to raise enough money to pay the IRS for his grandmother’s years of delinquent back taxes (oops), the failed hockey player took his skills on the road as the most unorthodox golf player the Tour Championship had ever seen.
Along the way, Happy made allies (the late, great Carl Weathers’ one-handed Chubbs Petersen and a homeless caddy played by Allen Covert) and enemies (Christopher McDonald’s arrogant Shooter McGavin and the aforementioned Bob Barker), but he ultimately triumphed in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. He showed the golf snobs who’s boss, saved his grandmother’s house, and returned home at last.
It’s currently unclear how the film will resurrect Gilmore’s golf career, but one thing’s for sure: In the real world, at least, Happy Gilmore is a legend. Even the world’s best golfers agree.
The sequel was first announced in March 2024, with Netflix officially ordering the film in May. *Happy Gilmore 2* is directed by Kyle Newacheck and written by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy.
