Want to be in a sequel to a much-beloved sports movie? Then we have news for you.

A Happy Gilmore sequel is in the works, and while we’re hoping for some big-name golfers to appear in it, it’s you who could be a star.

Well, no. You’ll be an extra. That’s different.

Christopher McDonald, the actor who portrayed Happy’s nemesis Shooter McGavin in the 1996 release Happy Gilmore, spilled the beans about the follow-up when he joined a Cleveland radio show.

“Here’s a quick intel,” McDonald said to Ken Carman on 92.3 The Fan. “I saw Adam [Sandler] and he says to me ‘McDonald. You’re going to love this.’ I said ‘What?’ And he says ‘How about that?’ and he shows me a first draft of Happy Gilmore 2.”

Happy Gilmore sequel with Adam Sandler, new Will Ferrell golf series in works at Netflix

Golf will be one of the stars as streaming giant turns to something new and something old.

Netflix is doubling down on golf comedy with a sequel to the 1990s classic Happy Gilmore and a new television show starring Will Ferrell.

On Wednesday, the streamer confirmed that Adam Sandler will return as the raucous professional golfer Happy Gilmore in a new movie. The golf comedy cemented Sandler as a bankable movie star with its 1996 debut.

While no talent and director are attached as of yet, actor Christopher McDonald, who played the conniving golfer Shooter McGavin in the original film, talked about the potential sequel earlier this year, hinting at his involvement.

Meanwhile, Ferrell will star in a new Netflix comedy series titled GOLF, where he will play a legendary fictional golfer. Ramy Youssef (Poor Things) will co-star on the series and is credited as a co-creator with Ferrell and Josh Rabinowitz.

While no release date is planned for either project, it’s possible both projects will go into production this year and will hit the green sometime in 2025.

‘Happy Gilmore 2’ is in the works, says Shooter McGavin actor, because ‘fans demand it’

It has to be better than that “other” golf movie sequel, right?

The most iconic golf movie ever, “Caddyshack,” was followed up by the horrific “Caddyshack II,” so here’s hoping “Happy Gilmore 2” does right by the original.

Christopher McDonald, the actor who portrayed Happy’s nemesis Shooter McGavin in the 1996 release Happy Gilmore, spilled the beans about the follow-up when he joined Ken Carman on 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland.

“Here’s a quick intel,” McDonald said. “I saw Adam [Sandler] about two weeks ago and he says to me ‘McDonald. You’re going to love this.’ I said ‘What?’ And he says ‘How about that?’ and he shows me a first draft of Happy Gilmore 2.”

He then joked that maybe the radio producers should cut that out of the interview because “I don’t want to be a liar,” he said, but added that Sandler “did show me that and I said that would be awesome. It’s in the works. Fans demand it.”

McDonald is active in pro-am and charity tournaments and said his handicap is “probably 12 or 13 but I used to be about a 7.”

Where does he rank the Shooter McGavin role?

“I’ve had some favorite roles. I gotta say it’s top 3.”

“You’re a beloved character,” said Carman.

“People loved to hate the Shooter. I love that.,” McDonald said.

McDonald was in Cleveland for a meet-and-greet at the minor league hockey Cleveland Monsters, where the fan giveaway is a Shooter McGavin bobblehead.

Deadline reported that the movie will be made for Netflix, but added that niether the streaming service nor Adam Sandler were available for comment.

There is no announced release date for “Happy Gilmore 2.”
