Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for Happy Gilmore 2, set to premiere on the platform on July 25, 2025. The trailer showcases Adam Sandler reprising his iconic role as Happy Gilmore, nearly three decades after the original film hit theaters in 1996. Joining him are familiar faces from the first movie, including Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and Christopher McDonald, who once again portrays the antagonistic Shooter McGavin.

The trailer introduces new cast members such as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (Bad Bunny), Sadie and Sunny Sandler, and Blake Clark. It also features a playful nod to SpongeBob SquarePants at its outset. Netflix has confirmed the involvement of several professional golfers in the film, including John Daly, Paige Spiranac, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, and Will Zalatoris, along with a cameo from NFL star Travis Kelce.
The cast of Happy Gilmore 2 includes:
Notably absent from the current cast list is rapper Eminem, despite Sandler mentioning his cameo last year. It's possible that Netflix is reserving his reveal for a future trailer.

To refresh your memory, here's Netflix's official recap of the original Happy Gilmore:
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.
We first learned that Happy Gilmore 2 was in development back in March 2024, and Netflix officially ordered the sequel in May. The film is directed by Kyle Newacheck and scripted by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy.
