Happy Gilmore 2 premiered on July 25, 2025 and streams only on Netflix. Kyle Newacheck directs the film, with the screenplay by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy. The producers include Jack Giarraputo and Robert Simonds, with original director Dennis Dugan as executive producer.

Editors Tom Costain and Brian Robinson and DP Zak Mulligan are credited on the film.

As per the Netflix Tudum report dated July 25, 2025, director Kyle Newacheck said:

"It feels like there was an overwhelming ‘Yes,’...There was also an abundance of, ‘Hey, how can I get in?’ The love for this movie is — I’ll use a big word — unequivocal."

As per an AP News report dated July 22, 2025, Adam Sandler said:

"We thought it could be fun to write something like that… It kind of connected to our lives and this age, and wanting to make a full-on comedy. There’s nothing better than dropping a comedy and trying to make people laugh, to us. It feels like why we originally got into this business."

What is Happy Gilmore 2 about?

Happy Gilmore 2 opens with a sharp turn: Virginia Venit dies in a freak golf accident, which pushes Happy into a long slump before he returns to the sport to fund Vienna’s ballet ambitions.

That comeback track intersects with a flashier Maxi Golf circuit and its mogul Frank Manatee, creating the televised‑golf framework where many cameos land, including Post Malone’s announcer bits. The sequel centres on family stakes, rivalry, and media‑satire beats across the Maxi events.

As per the Netflix Tudum report dated July 25, 2025, Newacheck added:

"We shot this big scene, and that was the most electric room I’ve been in.”

Post Malone is in Happy Gilmore 2 as DJ Omar Gosh, appearing in the Maxi Tour Challenge commentary booth. The cameo is brief and plays within the film’s TV‑broadcast gags, consistent with how Happy Gilmore 2 uses celebrities across its Maxi‑league set pieces.
