Happy Gilmore 2: Netflix Sets Release Date and Star Lineup

Happy Gilmore 2 is coming to Netflix almost 30 years after the first movie was released, coming with the promise of the revival of one of the most popular, and the most underrated, sports-comedies of the 1990s. At 58, Adam Sandler plays into his role as the loud-mouthed but endearing Happy Gilmore. The second part will be published on Friday, July 25, 2025, and will be available only on Netflix.

The nostalgia and the demand of the fans which had not diminished with the years are the reasons Sandler decided to revive the character. The platform of the sequel has been clearly cleared through his multi-film contract with Netflix as the sequel does not include a theatrical release rather a worldwide digital release.

What Time Is Happy Gilmore 2 Coming Out on Netflix?

The fans willing to see the sequel will not wait long. The film will be released on 25 July at 3.00 a.m Eastern Time (ET). People in the other time zone can watch the film in the following way

  • Midnight PT (Pacific Time)
  • 2:00 a.m. CT (Central Time)
  • 8:00 a.m. BST (British Summer Time)

The universal releases on Netflix keep it exciting because spoilers are not an issue as viewers can be aware of the same content at the same time.

Cast Details: Familiar Faces and Exciting Newcomers

The new film has a lot of the old magic with many of the casts of the 1996 movie returning. Adam Sandler is joined once again by:

  • Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit
  • Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin
  • Ben Stiller
  • Kevin Nealon
  • Dennis Dugan
  • Philip Schneider

Further celebration is that the daughters of Sandler were used in minor roles, Sadie and Sunny Sandler contributing personal and professional touch to the film.

A fresh wave of talent also enters the mix. New additions include:

  • Bad Bunny
  • Margaret Qualley
  • Eric Andre
  • Benny Safdie
  • Marcello Hernandez
  • Haley Joel Osment
  • Kid Cudi
  • Blake Clark

Their newness comes with an air of modernity to add freshness to the comedic tone of the original but in such a manner to capture the youthful audience.

Cameo Galore: Eminem and Other Celebrity Appearances

The cameos of high-profile will also add to the entertainment value of the sequel. Eminem is reported to appear as a guest star and sports and entertainment celebrities of all kinds will also be there in numbers. Expected appearances include:

  • Post Malone
  • Ken Jennings
  • Travis Kelce
  • Paige Spiranac
  • Jordan Spieth
  • Jack Nicklaus
  • Boban Marjanović
  • John Daly

The presence of these cameo roles played by celebrities will also introduce an element of surprise and comedy that people who enjoyed the original will most definitely enjoy.

Creative Challenges and Script Evolution

It did not run smoothly in the making of Happy Gilmore 2. Plans for a sequel were outlined in the early stages of 2022, but the project radically changed following the passing of Carl Weathers in 2024. Weathers, the popular Chubbs Peterson played aHot role in the first. His death necessitated massive overhauling of the script and careful handling of the legacy of his character.

Sandler is said to have been slow during the production process after deciding that he would not publish a follow up unless it had the same spirit and quality as its predecessor. Such careful treatment indicates his dedication to not only storytelling, but the demands of fans as well.

A Strategic Move to Keep the Franchise Alive

In this launch, Netflix hopes to cash in on nostalgic content success along with drawing on the popularity of Adam Sandler. Streamer has gained the advantage of the prior work of Sandler and is looking forward to the impact of Happy Gilmore 2 to strike across the years-long adherents and even the first-timers.
