Happy Gilmore 2 is a long overdue sequel to one of the most beloved comedies of the 1990s – here’s when and where you can watch the movie.
The first Happy Gilmore revolved around a former ice hockey player who discovered a talent for golf, and turned the sport upside down by causing trouble both on and off the course as he rose through the ranks.
The movie was a hit for Adam Sandler – who both starred co-wrote (alongside Tim Herlihy) – back in 1996, and there’s been talk of a sequel ever since.

We see Gilmore employing a clueless new caddie called Oscar, and reigniting his war of words with arch-nemesis (and sh*t-eater) Shooter McGavin.
Sandler recently revealed that the plot was retooled when Carl Weather – who played Happy’s mentor Chubbs – died in 2024.
“We had a painful change. Carl Weathers had a massive part,” Sandler told Collider. “I would talk to Carl, and we were excited, and then Carl passed away. We had to rewrite a lot of the stuff, and even what the story was. We made a lot of nice references to how great Chubbs was in the movie. That was the biggest change.”
