- Everett CollectionJulie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, and Benito Martínez Ocasio join the cast of the long-awaited sequel.Sept. 10, 2024
It’s been almost 30 years since we last saw Happy Gilmore, the long-driving hero who won in the Tour Championship in 1996. Now, we finally get to catch up with him in a new sequel. That’s right, Adam Sandler is returning to the golf green as Happy Gilmore, and he’s bringing along a few new and familiar faces. Joining the film alongside Sandler are original Happy Gilmore stars Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald and brand-new co-star Benito Martínez Ocasio (AKA Bad Bunny). Production has officially begun on the film, with Sandler posting an Easter egg teasing his character’s upcoming antics.
Sandler fans have been waiting for an update on the long-rumored sequel. Characters from Happy Gilmore have even popped up in Jack and Jill, Little Nicky, and Hubie Halloween. But Sandler’s hotheaded driver is finally coming back, alongside his entire team. Original Happy Gilmore co-writer Tim Herlihy is returning to write Happy Gilmore 2, Happy Gilmore director Dennis Dugan will serve as executive producer, and Happy Gilmore producers Jack Giarraputo and Robert Simonds also produce. Murder Mystery director Kyle Newacheck will also reunite with Sandler to direct the sequel.
Read on for more information while we wait for Happy to make his grand comeback to the world of golf.
Who’s in the Happy Gilmore 2 cast?
The Happy Gilmore 2 cast includes:
- Adam Sandler (Hustle, Murder Mystery) as Happy Gilmore
- Christopher McDonald (Thelma & Louise, The House Bunny) as Shooter McGavin
- Julie Bowen (Modern Family, Hubie Halloween) as Virginia Venit
- Benito Martínez Ocasio (Narcos: Mexico, Bullet Train)
Remind me, what happened at the end of Happy Gilmore?
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 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.
Stay tuned for more as we follow Happy Gilmore’s triumphant return to the world of sports.
