Netflix released the first teaser of Happy Gilmore 2 during its live stream of the pregame show for the NFL game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.
The teaser showed actor and comedian Adam Sandler reprising his iconic role, as well as appearances by Christopher McDonald, reprising his role as antagonist Shooter McGavin, Emmy award winner Julie Bowen reprising her role as Gilmore's love interest, Virginia Venit and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who was previously confirmed to appear in the film.
"Have a HAPPY New Year with HAPPY GILMORE 2. Coming to Netflix in 2025," Netflix wrote in the post of the trailer.
Sandler has long had a partnership with Netflix, which includes producing and starring in the exclusive releases of The Ridiculous Six, Murder Mystery and You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah. Happy Gilmore is among the actor and comedian's most popular films, serving as half of the namesake of his production company, Happy Madison, along with Billy Madison, which was released one year prior in 1995.
Gilmore, a failed hockey player, joins the Pro Golf Tour after discovering his incredible driving ability in order to raise funds for his grandmother to avoid eviction. The titular character is trained by former golf pro Chubbs Peterson, played the late Carl Weathers, who died earlier this year.
