‘Happy Gilmore 2' trailer gives 1st look at Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny cameos
LOS ANGELES - Nearly 30 years later, Happy Gilmore is making a return to the green – and fans got a first look at the new sequel coming to Netflix.
The streaming platform on Christmas Day shared a teaser trailer for "Happy Gilmore 2," which shows Adam Sandler reprising his role as the titular hockey player turned pro-golfer.
The trailer also shows scenes featuring original stars Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald. It also shows some new faces, including Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce with the line, "It’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore."
Another brand-new co-star for the sequel is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, also known as Puerto Rican singer and songwriter Bad Bunny.
"Happy Gilmore," which was released on Feb. 16, 1996, follows Happy Gilmore – a wannabe hockey player who finds a newfound talent for golf and competes in a golfing tournament to save his grandmother's house.
It was the second feature Sandler wrote and starred in following "Billy Madison" in 1995.
In the sequel, Happy is seen facing down Shooter McGavin, played by McDonald, who was a star golfer and his enemy in the original film.
