Netflix sets 'Happy Gilmore 2' release date with a brand new trailer — and it's looking good
Happy's back in action this summer.

Netflix's newest legacy sequel is "Happy Gilmore 2"... and the streaming service just dropped a full-length teaser trailer for the Adam Sandler comedy.
The streamer already gave us a quick glimpse at the golfer's return over the holiday season, but this new trailer gives us our biggest look yet at the antics we'll be seeing on our screens this summer.
Beginning with a shot of Gilmore judging his own bust alongside a slew of golfing greats, the new trailer (embedded below) shows how Happy feels about coming out of retirement.
While he admits to feeling a little intimidated by the latest generations of pros it looks like he's not off his game for long, judging by the shots he's making.
There's also a suitably villainous shot of Shooter McGavin screaming into the rain, and a sweet moment between Hap and Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen) where she tells him to go out there and let the people see the man she fell in love with all those years ago.
And if you doubted that Happy's skills had disappeared over the years, fret not: we get to see him quite literally tearing up a simulator in front of an adoring crowd.
It's got the feel of a classic Sandler comedy, features some old faces and, judging by this new trailer, looks like it could well be a worthy follow-up to the 1996 original.

What else do we know about 'Happy Gilmore 2'?
While Bowen, Sandler, and Christopher McDonald's characters are all back in action for "Happy Gilmore 2" (as is Ben Stiller!), the movie's enlisted a number of fresh faces for the next round.
Expect to see Bad Bunny, Adam's daughters Sadie and Sunny Dandler, and Blake Clark in the sequel, along with Travis Kelce, Conor Sherry and Maxwell Jacob Friedman.
