Adam Sandler Swings Again: First Teaser for ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Teases Star-Studded Return

Adam Sandler’s legendary swing is back in action. Netflix just dropped the first teaser for “Happy Gilmore 2”, and it’s already sending fans down memory lane almost three decades after the original. Announced on Christmas Day (while Netflix hosted its first-ever live NFL games), the teaser reveals that Sandler’s beloved golfer is all set to make another run at the green—this time with a cast that blends returning favorites and fresh faces.

Fans of the 1996 classic will be thrilled to see Julie Bowen reprise her role as Virginia Venit, still sporting that mix of charm and wit. Meanwhile, the endlessly entertaining Christopher McDonald also returns as Shooter McGavin, and it looks like he’s still got a few tricks up his sleeve. This fresh installment is bringing in heavy hitters like Bad Bunny, who’s dabbled in just about everything from music to wrestling, and Travis Kelce, the NFL superstar who’s known for making big plays on the field—now set to try his hand at some comedic hijinks. And don’t forget Margaret Qualley, Nick Swardson, Scott Mescudi (known to many as Kid Cudi), and Benny Safdie, who co-directed Sandler in “Uncut Gems.”

Though details about the plot remain hush-hush, the teaser offers glimpses of the humor and heart that made the original film such a fan favorite. There’s a sense of nostalgia woven throughout, with Sandler showing he’s still got that competitive spark whenever he’s challenged. Judging by the casting lineup, it’s safe to say that “Happy Gilmore 2” will pull out all the stops with new comedic setups and maybe even a few zany musical moments (wouldn’t be surprising with Kid Cudi and Bad Bunny involved).

“Happy Gilmore 2” is scheduled to arrive on Netflix in 2025, giving fans plenty of time to rewatch the original—and speculate about what’s next for the rowdy, hockey-stick-swinging phenom. The initial teaser clocks in at under a minute, but it’s already sparked buzz across social media, with everyone eager to see Sandler revive one of his most memorable characters.
