Creative Team Returns
The original creative team is back. Tim Herlihy, who co-wrote Happy Gilmore, returns to write the sequel. Dennis Dugan, who directed the original, is executive producing. Producers Jack Giarraputo and Robert Simonds also return.

Reminder: What Happened in the First Film?
In the 1996 film, Happy Gilmore beat Shooter McGavin to win the Tour Championship and saved his grandmother’s house from the IRS. The movie followed the failed hockey player’s unexpected rise through the golf ranks, with help from Chubbs Petersen (Carl Weathers) and his loyal caddy (Allen Covert).
Happy Gilmore 2 picks up decades later. Plot details remain under wraps, but expect a mix of nostalgia, chaos, and over-the-top cameos.
Release Date
Happy Gilmore 2 premieres July 25 on Netflix.
