**Los Angeles, CA** – Netflix has released a first look at *Happy Gilmore 2*, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 golf comedy classic. The streaming giant unveiled images showing Adam Sandler reprising his iconic role as Happy Gilmore, alongside a star-studded cast including Bad Bunny as his caddy and Christopher McDonald’s return as the villainous Shooter McGavin.

Filming wrapped last month on the Kyle Newacheck-directed sequel, which is slated for release later this year, potentially during the summer. The images reveal Sandler in action, preparing for one of his signature golf swings with Bad Bunny by his side, and facing off against his long-time rival.

The sequel also boasts an impressive supporting cast featuring Julie Bowen, Margaret Qualley, Travis Kelce, Conor Sherry, Ethan Cutowsky, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and Philip Fine Schneider. Adding to the nostalgic appeal, Dennis Dugan, director of the original *Happy Gilmore* and executive producer of the sequel, will also appear on screen.

While the plot remains under wraps, Sandler, along with co-writer Tim Herlihy (who also worked on the original), has admitted to feeling the pressure of meeting expectations. “It’s on your mind,” Sandler recently stated. “We’ve got a lot of good stuff, and we just want to make sure that it all comes together.” The film is being produced by Sandler, Herlihy, Robert Simonds, and Jack Giarraputo. Netflix’s announcement of the sequel coincides with their unveiling of upcoming movie, TV, and game projects.
