Netflix has officially ordered a sequel to “Happy Gilmore,” one of Adam Sandler’s top comedies of all time.
The streaming giant told advertisers this week that it was moving forward with “Happy Gilmore 2”, starring Sandler.
“Happy Gilmore is back!” the company posted on X. “Adam Sandler will reprise his iconic role in a brand new movie coming to Netflix.”
The Hollywood Reporter said that Sandler would return to his role from the 1996 film as a hockey player who discovered he could channel his rage into playing and winning golf tournaments.
The report said that the film is part of Netflix’s $250 million deal with the comedian, in which Sandler has already produced eight titles.
