Some key highlights:

The streamer announced at its upfront presentation to advertisers on Wednesday that it was moving forward with Happy Gilmore 2 with Adam Sandler on board to reprise his role as the titular rage golfer.

Netflix didn’t release any details about the film, such as its story line, writer or director.

Christopher McDonald who played the golfer Shooter McGavin the first film, has suggested his character might return in the sequel.

    Let’s taint the feelings you have about the first one by creating an unnecessary sequel. I’m not even an Adam Sandler or Happy Gilmore fan, but I can just imagine how disappointed actual fans are to hear this news.

      “Unnecessary” is the weirdest complaint about sequels. All movies are unnecessary, people just make them because they want to.

        I probably shouldn’t judge it as unnecessary before I see it, however, Hollywood and Adam Sandler especially like to make cash grab sequels, and I feel cash grab sequels are unnecessary. Making a sequel because you have additional story you want to tell is totally ok, but making a movie solely to cash in on a previous story is not.

    That’s the kind of movie that definitely doesn’t need a sequel, as much as I liked the original…

    As mentioned last time this was revealed, it will be a minor role for Adam and the major roles will go to his kids again.

    Inb4 its the reverse story of one, but with his daughter. She is trying to play golf, hates hockey and thinks it’s dumb. Wins women’s NHL Stanley cup.
