Adam Sandler is taking another swing at “Happy Gilmore” with help from some major stars.
During Netflix’s Tudum event on Saturday, May 31, the streamer debuted a new trailer for the comedian’s highly anticipated sequel “Happy Gilmore 2.”
The footage teased a movie packed to the brim with cameos, starting with the trailer’s opening scene in which Happy Gilmore falls flat on his face while golfing, as witnessed by Eric André, Margaret Qualley and Martin Herlihy.
Later, Travis Kelce appears in a scene with Bad Bunny, Ben Stiller returns as orderly Hal, and several real television personalities like Ken Jennings and Stephen A. Smith pop up during a montage. The trailer also includes short glimpses of appearances by Eminem, Post Malone, Becky Lynch and more.
Outside of the cameos, the main cast of “Happy Gilmore 2” includes Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, the latter of whom returns as Shooter McGavin. Sandler wrote the screenplay for “Happy Gilmore 2” with Tim Herlihy, his co-writer on the original movie.

The comedian has teased several of the film’s cameos in interviews. Sandler said on the “Dan Patrick Show” in December that he filmed for a day with Eminem, who “said a million things we can use.” Sandler noted at the time that “I’ve known Eminem for a long time, and he’s a great guy.”
Qualley, meanwhile, has said that her role in “Happy Gilmore 2” is small, but that her husband Jack Antonoff helped convince Sandler to cast her because she’s such a fan of the original. On “The Tonight Show,” she joked that Antonoff lied to Sandler by claiming Qualley is good at golf in order to secure her a role.
