- Happy Gilmore 2 will be released on Netflix on July 25, 2025.
- The film takes place 30 years after the events of the first film, and now, it will see Happy struggling to get back to the world of golf.
- While several original cast members, including the lead man Adam Sandler, are making a comeback, it will also introduce us to new faces.
The sports comedy film Happy Gilmore, released in 1996, garnered a massive fandom. It was produced with a budget of $12 million and earned $8.5 million in its debut week, eventually grossing $41 million throughout its run. However, despite being a blockbuster hit, the movie couldn’t get the recognition and awards it deserved, and that’s the reason why modern fans call it an ‘underrated gem.’
Meaning that if the film were to be re-released today, it would indeed gain the popularity it was meant for. While we’re not sure of a re-release, luckily, Happy Gilmore 2 is about to release soon and here’s everything about the upcoming movie.

After a long wait, Netflix finally released a full-fledged trailer for Happy Gilmore 2 at TUDUM 2025, and fans couldn’t be happier (pun intended) seeing the trailer. It has been 30 years since Happy made his name in Golf, but he’s washed up now and has lost his grip on the game. Regardless, the trailer shows that Happy is ready to get his life on track by getting back to the game.
The world is obviously excited that Happy is making a comeback, and it’s all over the news. However, Happy will have to go through several challenges to remind people who he actually is. For that, he needs the support of his loved ones, who, as showcased in the trailer, are as crazy and Happy. The trailer for sure makes you nostalgic by bringing in a lot of old characters, including Ben Stiller as Hal. Adam Sandler, as expected, oozes charm as Happy in the trailer, and we can’t wait to see him in action when the movie finally drops on Netflix in July.
