Recently, we wrote that Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin in the original film, had met with Adam Sandler who, according to McDonald, had told him that he was working on a sequel to the comedy film Happy Gilmore. During an interview with Dan Patrick, Sandler was quickly asked if this was true, which the comedian quickly confirmed.
"[...] we're working on it. Me and Tim Herlihy are diligently trying to make a good reason for everyone to come and watch and have a good time. Netflix is excited about it. So, we're working on it. We've got some good ideas."
Happy Gilmore premiered in 1996 and stars Adam Sandler as a hockey player with an extremely short fuse who turns to golf to earn money to save his grandmother's house. The film was panned by critics but has quickly become a classic in many households and interest in a sequel remains high.
