Will There Be a Happy Gilmore 2 Release Date & Is It Coming Out?

Released in 1996, Happy Gilmore is a critically and commercially successful comedy film directed by Dennis Dugan and written by Adam Sandler. It garnered $38.8 million at the global box office against its $12 million budget and earned a 62% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The first film revolves around the eponymous struggling ice hockey player trying his luck out in golf. About 28 years after its release, there is exciting news about a sequel. Interested in knowing whether there will be a Happy Gilmore 2? This is what we have discovered on the subject.

Here’s all the Happy Gilmore 2 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.

Is there a Happy Gilmore 2 release date?

Happy Gilmore 2 does not have an official release date, but it will likely be announced in the future.

Speaking to Audacy’s 92.3 The Fan, actor Christopher McDonald revealed that Adam Sandler showed him the script for the Happy Gilmore sequel.

“I saw Adam [Sandler] about two weeks ago, and he says to me, ‘McDonald, you’re gonna love this,’” the veteran character actor recalled. “I said, ‘What?’ He says, ‘How about that,’ and he shows me the first draft of Happy Gilmore 2. Maybe you should cut that out [of this audio] because I don’t wanna be a liar, but he did show me that, and I thought, ‘Well, that would be awesome.’ So, it’s in the works. Fans demand it, dammit!”

If the script is indeed ready, Happy Gilmore 2 can potentially go into production this year and come out sometime in 2025.

Adam Sandler will probably return as Happy Gilmore and Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin.

Where is Happy Gilmore 2 coming out?

Happy Gilmore 2 could come out on Netflix or in theaters.

This is because Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions has a deal with Netflix and has released all its recent projects on the platform. Alternatively, the film can premiere in theaters as well, given the massive commercial success of the first film.

The official synopsis for Happy Gilmore reads:

“Failed hockey player-turned-golf whiz Happy Gilmore — whose unconventional approach and antics on the grass courts the ire of rival Shooter McGavin — is determined to win a PGA tournament so he can save his granny’s house with the prize money. Meanwhile, an attractive tour publicist tries to soften Happy’s image.”
