It looks like the iconic 1996 film, Happy Gilmore, might be getting a sequel.
Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin on the sports comedy, revealed Friday in an appearance on 92. 3 The Fan of Audacy that Adam Sandler, who plays Happy Gilmore, recently showed him a draft of the script for Happy Gilmore 2.
McDonald told theScore’s Caitlyn Holroyd:
Sandler had in the past expressed interest in creating a sequel to the film, stating in an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show in 2021 that he would approve the project.
