"Happy Gilmore 2" releases on Netflix July 25, and the Adam Sandler-starring sequel is filled with familiar faces including Travis Kelce and Post Malone.

Happy Gilmore 2 dropped on Netflix on July 25, 2025, nearly thirty years after the 1996 original. The film was helmed by Kyle Newacheck while Adam Sandler wrote the script with Tim Herlihy.

Benny Safdie joins as Maxi Golf creator Frank Manatee, while Travis Kelce portrays a hot-headed waiter. In another star-studded addition, Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, appears as Oscar, as Happy's waiter-turned-caddy.
