Netflix announced that it will be releasing a sequel to Adam Sandler’s 90s comedy classic “Happy Gilmore,” along with a new film from “The Hurt Locker” Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow.
“Happy Gilmore 2,” which was announced during the company’s upfronts presentation Wednesday, will see Sandler return as the failed hockey player who finds a new calling in golf after his powerful slap shot allows him to drive spectacular tee shots on the golf course.
Christopher McDonald is also set to return in the film as Happy’s rival, Shooter McGavin, whom Happy faces in a head-to-head golf showdown to win the money to save his grandmother’s home.
