‘Happy Gilmore’ Sequel in the Works From Adam Sandler

Netflix announced that a sequel to Adam Sandler’s classic golf comedy Happy Gilmore is officially in the works.

The streaming service — which has had a long partnership with Sandler’s Happy Madison production company — announced the long-awaited sequel to the 1996 film during Netflix’s upfront presentation Wednesday in New York. Rumors of another Happy Gilmore first emerged in March when actor Christopher McDonald, who played the antagonist Shooter McGavin in the original, revealed in an interview that Sandler had written a script for the sequel. The next month, Drew Barrymore — Sandler’s co-star in The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates — received a semi-confirmation that Happy Gilmore 2 was “in process”.
