Adam Sandler, working under his extensive Netflix overall deal with the streamer, is returning to one of his most iconic characters, Happy Gilmore. With plenty of new and returning faces, here’s everything we know about the sequel to Happy Gilmore.
In July 2024, we revealed that Kyle Newacheck had been tapped to direct the sequel (Dennis Dugan directed the original). Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy have written the story of the sequel. Unsurprisingly, Happy Madison Production is producing the movie, with Jack Giarraputo, Tim Herlihy, Robert Simonds, and Adam Sandler listed as producers.
David Bausch, Barry Bernardi, Dennis Dugan, Kevin Grady, and Judit Maull are executive producers.

For now, the details of Happy Gilmore 2 are being kept under wraps. We expect to learn more in the following months.
