Netflix held its upfront presentation on Wednesday, May 15, announcing many of its upcoming projects, including renewing 3 Body Problem and new projects starring Keira Knightley, Tim McGraw and Shane Gillis. But the biggest news for many (even bigger than Netflix landing live NFL games for the first time) was the announcement that Adam Sandler is reprising one of his most iconic characters as Netflix has officially greenlit Happy Gilmore 2, confirming that a sequel was on the way after a lot of buzz had been building about it.
The 1996 golf comedy (streaming on Netflix) was one of the movies that made Sandler the star he is today and remains one of his most beloved roles. In the movie he stars as a short-fused hockey player who discovers he has the ability to drive a golf ball further than anyone else, which he hopes to use to win money to get back his grandmother's house.

In addition to Sandler, Happy Gilmore starred Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen and Carl Weathers. Almost no details about the sequel are known beyond the fact that we're getting one
