The trailer also introduces new cast members, including Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (known as Bad Bunny), Sadie and Sunny Sandler, and Blake Clark. A delightful nod to *SpongeBob SquarePants* adds a fun touch to the trailer's opening.
Netflix has confirmed the participation of several professional golfers in the film, such as John Daly, Paige Spiranac, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, and Will Zalatoris. Additionally, NFL star Travis Kelce makes a cameo appearance.
The cast of *Happy Gilmore 2* includes:
While rapper Eminem was mentioned for a cameo by Sandler last year, he does not appear on the current cast list provided by Netflix. It's possible that his appearance is being saved for a future reveal.
For those needing a refresher on the original *Happy Gilmore*, here’s Netflix’s summary:
At the end of the original *Happy Gilmore*, Sandler’s titular character was finally at rest after a long, strenuous season of golf (and one knockdown brawl with *The Price Is Right’s* Bob Barker). On a mission to raise enough money to pay the IRS for his grandmother’s years of delinquent back taxes (oops), the failed hockey player took his skills on the road as the most unorthodox golf player the Tour Championship had ever seen.
Along the way, Happy made allies (the late, great Carl Weathers’ one-handed Chubbs Petersen and a homeless caddy played by Allen Covert) and enemies (Christopher McDonald’s arrogant Shooter McGavin and the aforementioned Bob Barker), but he ultimately triumphed in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. He showed the golf snobs who’s boss, saved his grandmother’s house, and returned home at last.
It’s currently unclear how the film will resurrect Gilmore’s golf career, but one thing’s for sure: In the real world, at least, Happy Gilmore is a legend. Even the world’s best golfers agree.
The news of *Happy Gilmore 2* first surfaced in March 2024, followed by Netflix's official announcement in May that the sequel had been greenlit. The film is directed by Kyle Newacheck and scripted by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy.
