Happy Gilmore, the beloved 1996 comedy starring Adam Sandler, is getting a sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, set to stream on Netflix starting July 25, 2025. Sandler returns as Happy, with Julie Bowen (Virginia Venit) and Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin) also reprising their roles. New cast members include NFL star Travis Kelce and Bad Bunny, with Tiger Woods making another appearance.
However, the time between the original Happy Gilmore and its sequel has seen some heartbreaking losses. Carl Weathers, who played the lovable Chubbs Peterson, passed away on February 1, 2024, at the age of 76.
He was widely adored for his roles in the Rocky films, and his presence in Happy Gilmore left a lasting impression. Another major loss was Bob Barker, the legendary Price Is Right host, who passed away on August 26, 2024, at 100 years old.
