OMG Happy Gilmore 2 Is Officially Coming To Paramount Plus This December And Adam Sandler Just Announced A MASSIVE New Tour
Get ready to find your happy place because this is NOT a drill!
In the best news to hit our timelines all year, sources are confirming the one thing we’ve all been dreaming about since 1996: Happy Gilmore 2 is officially happening, and it’s coming to our screens way sooner than you think. Break out the PBR and the Subway sandwiches because the Sandman is heading back to the golf course!
We are literally screaming.
Sources close to the production have revealed that the highly anticipated sequel will stream exclusively on Paramount Plus this December. You heard that right. Just in time for the holidays, we’ll be gifted with the return of the hockey-player-turned-golfer with the most iconic swing in cinematic history. This move makes Adam Sandler the undisputed king of holiday streaming.
Think about it. Sandler is dropping this potential comedy blockbuster on Paramount Plus right as his animated hit Leo and the blockbuster sequel Murder Mystery 2 with the forever fabulous Jennifer Aniston are dominating the holiday charts on Netflix. It's a total Sandler-verse takeover of the streaming wars, and honestly, we are so here for it. One man, two streaming giants, one massive holiday season. This is power.
The original Happy Gilmore was more than just a movie; it was a cultural phenomenon. It gave us Shooter McGavin, the legendary Bob Barker fight, and the advice to just “tap it in.” For years, fans have been clamoring for a sequel, and while whispers and rumors have circulated, it seemed like a pipe dream. But now, it’s a reality.
While the plot is being kept under tighter wraps than Shooter’s golden jacket, we can’t help but speculate. Will Happy have a kid who is now a golf prodigy with a temper? Will Christopher McDonald return as the deliciously evil Shooter McGavin, perhaps now a washed-up commentator desperate for a comeback? And how will they honor the legacies of the late great Bob Barker and Carl Weathers, who played Happy’s beloved coach, Chubbs Peterson? We’re praying for a heartfelt and hilarious tribute. Our dream casting? Ben Stiller, who played the evil orderly in the original, gets a much bigger role as the new tournament director. The potential is limitless!
This sequel isn’t just a random cash grab. It’s a genius move capitalizing on the full-blown Sandler-aissance we are all currently witnessing. After earning massive critical acclaim for dramatic roles in films like Uncut Gems and Hustle, Sandler proved he has serious acting chops. But he never abandoned his comedy roots, and his deal with Netflix has produced some of the platform’s most-watched movies ever. He has masterfully blended prestige with popularity, and Happy Gilmore 2 is the victory lap.
But wait, because the Sandman isn’t stopping there.
As if dropping the sequel of the century wasn't enough, Sandler is also hitting the road again. Get your calendars out and set your alarms, because he just announced his brand-new stand-up tour: The You’re My Best Friend Tour. And for his East Coast fans, this is major. He’s set to play a series of dates at the one and only Madison Square Garden in New York City in the fall of 2025.
Playing MSG is a landmark moment for any performer, and for Sandler to book a residency there proves he is at the absolute top of his game. This isn’t just a comedy show; it's an event.
And the best part? The tour has a direct tie-in with a new Netflix comedy special. That’s right, the performances at MSG are expected to be filmed for what will undoubtedly be another record-breaking special for the streaming giant. This means even if you can’t score a ticket to the live show, you’ll still get to experience the magic from your couch. We expect a mix of his classic hilarious songs, personal anecdotes, and maybe even a few surprise appearances from his famous friends like David Spade or Rob Schneider.
It’s clear that Adam Sandler is building an empire across every single entertainment platform. From a blockbuster animated film and a smash-hit action-comedy on Netflix to a legacy sequel on Paramount Plus, and capping it all off with a live tour at the world’s most famous arena that will become another Netflix special. No one else is operating on this level.
So, get ready. The end of 2024 is all about feeling the Gilmore. Then, 2025 will be about seeing the legend live. The price is wrong, but this news is SO right. The Sandman is back, and he’s ready to play. We’ll see you at the ninth green at nine.
