Netflix has unleashed the first trailer for Happy Gilmore 2, hitting the streamer July 25, 2025! Get ready for another round of Happy's hilarious antics.

Here's a quick refresher on the original Happy Gilmore, courtesy of Netflix:
The original Happy Gilmore concluded with Sandler's character finally finding peace after a grueling golf season (and one memorable brawl with Bob Barker). His mission? Raise enough money to cover his grandmother's hefty tax debt. This led the failed hockey player to become the most unconventional golfer the Tour Championship had ever seen.
Along the way, Happy forged alliances (with the unforgettable Chubbs Petersen and a homeless caddy) and made enemies (Shooter McGavin and Bob Barker). But against all odds, he triumphed, proving his skills, saving his grandmother's home, and returning home a victor.
How Happy's golf career will be resurrected remains a mystery, but one thing's certain: Happy Gilmore is a legend, even the world's best golfers agree!
Development of Happy Gilmore 2 began in March 2024, with Netflix officially ordering the sequel in May. Kyle Newacheck directs, from a script by Sandler and Tim Herlihy.
