Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2 release date as Netflix drops sequel 30 years in the making
Happy Gilmore 2, the eagerly awaited new comedy film of the year, is set to release after nearly three decades since the original.
The sequel to the popular 1996 comedy brings back the unconventional golfer Happy, who comes out of retirement to fund his daughter Vienna's (portrayed by Sunny Sandler) ballet school.
The film sees the return of the original cast, including Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller, and is predicted to draw in millions of viewers upon its release.
Newcomers Benny Safdie and Bad Bunny join the cast, along with a thrilling array of cameos and guest appearances from Travis Kelce, Margaret Qualley, Eminem and several professional golfers.
With the much-anticipated sequel just around the corner, let's delve into what we know about the release date of Happy Gilmore 2, reports the Express.
When will Happy Gilmore 2 be released?
Unlike the original film, the Netflix Original sequel is following the trend of Sandler's other streaming comedies and skipping a cinema release.
This means that fans globally can watch the film at their leisure from this Friday, as long as they have a Netflix subscription.
The exact time the film will be available depends on your timezone, as the streaming service releases new content simultaneously in every region.
Films and TV series typically make their debut just after midnight in the Pacific Time Zone in the US, given that Netflix's headquarters are located in California.
For those residing on the east coast States, the film will be available from 3am Eastern Time.

Jenna Ortega admits feeling 'super anxious' on Wednesday season 2 set
Wednesday is making a comeback to Netflix for its hotly anticipated second season, three years after it became a worldwide phenomenon. WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Wednesday. Wednesday star Jenna Ortega has opened up on her anxiety while shooting season two of the Addams Family spin-off. Originally created more than 60 years ago, The Addams Family has become a legendary gothic sitcom that has continued to entertain generations with various remakes over the years. But the franchise reached new heights in 2022 when former You star Jenna Ortega stepped into the shoes of the deeply sarcastic and morbid Wednesday Addams for her very own show on Netflix. Subscribers went crazy for the dark comedy, with Wednesday breaking the streamer's records for the most viewed hours in a week for an English-language series, beating Stranger Things four. Wednesday also became the third most-watched English-speaking show on Netflix with more than 752 million hours viewed. So it didn't come as too much of a surprise when it was announced a season two was in the works. Despite its success, Ortega has admittedly tried to dissociate from the ever-growing fandom around Wednesday. She explained to Netflix: 'It's still quite difficult to comprehend. I see the effects and changes that it's had on my life and my castmates' lives, but it's something that you're very detached from. If you see a number, it looks kind of crazy, but it's not like I've seen it in a room or anything like that. 'I just try not to pay too much attention to that stuff because success for me is more about feeling accomplished and being able to put something out into the world and feel proud. "It's wonderful that it's been received so well, because there's a lot of pressure.' The 22-year-old then went on to talk about how she felt 'anxious' while shooting the new episodes. 'When we started the show, I was 18 and had never worked with a director as big as Tim [Burton]," she shared. 'I had led a show before, but not with a character that was so well known and loved prior to me joining. It's a relief, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I still don't feel super anxious or feel like I have something I need to live up to every day on set. 'Maybe that's a good thing, but it hasn't gotten easier.' After defeating Joseph Crackstone (William Houston) and saving Nevermore Academy in the first series, Wednesday has become wildly popular in series two, much to her horror. However, she soon becomes preoccupied when Wednesday has a disturbing vision of Enid Sinclair's (Emma Myers) death. But will her best friend actually die or is the morbid teenager going to be able to save her before it's too late? Wednesday season two premieres on Wednesday, August 6, on Netflix.

The Assassin star Keeley Hawes' huge stunt admission for hit thriller
The Assassin star Keeley Hawes has opened up about the action packed drama, which also stars Freddie Highmore The Assassin airs on Prime Video and the eagerly-awaited action thriller features Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore as a distant mother and son duo. Former assassin Julie had been enjoying a comparatively peaceful existence whilst keeping a low profile in Greece, until her son Edward appeared demanding answers about the father he'd never met. When Julie's history began to emerge, she and her son found themselves compelled to unite in a battle for their lives. Hawes recently revealed a candid family confession prior to the drama's launch. Harry and Jack Williams served as scriptwriters and executive producers for the programme, and they acknowledged there were obstacles in realising their ideal production, reports the Express. Harry explained: "We jump to Libya for part of the story, so doubling that was trickier to ensure you get those sandy visuals. "We also go to the south of France, which is not so hard to double in Greece - it's always just finding the right location." The programme was shot in Greece, specifically Athens, and the cast had previously discussed the harsh filming conditions as they battled against sweltering temperatures. Jack continued: "It's an ambitious show. There's a lot of action and locations and there were concerns about how we'd do it. "But we did have a great company we were working with in Greece and a great team who managed to somehow bring it all to life without anything being compromised." Actress Hawes confessed she had to handle some enormous stunts, but relished the challenge. "This is some of the biggest stunt work that I've ever done," she revealed. "I love a challenge and some of this has been really challenging in a good way. "In The Assassin there's some stunt-heavy scenes and it's broken up with brilliant bits of dialogue which adds great humour to the series. "Those scenes in the show don't take themselves too seriously, which sets it apart from other more serious action series I've worked on, such as Bodyguard and Line of Duty." Mo Lee, who served as the stunt co-ordinator on the series, confessed "every project is a challenge." He shared: "I need to find out what everyone wants, what I need to get that looks good: dramatic and stunty. Everything is challenging but to me, that is the best part. "Because, once you do create something which is great, then it's a nice achievement." The Assassin airs on Prime Video.

Netflix fans say don't skip 'most underrated film' as it will 'change your life'
A movie buff has urged Netflix fans to check out the 'most underrated film of this decade' on the streaming platform – and people agree it's worth the two hours of screen time Netflix subscribers have been urged to check out the 'most underrated film of this decade' on the streaming platform - and people can't get enough of it. The film buff, who is known as @eccyreviews on social media, has shared the docudrama you need to check out on UK Netflix, claiming it to be one of the best things you'll see all year. In his TikTok clip, he said: "Netflix have just secretly added one of the most underrated films of this decade and you need to check it out immediately because it's actually based on a true story." Directed by Matt Johnson, the 2023 movie BlackBerry follows the story of the "meteoric rise and catastrophic demise of the world's first smartphone". The Netflix hit stars Jay Baruchel, Glenn Howerton and Matt Johnson and has earned itself 28 awards alongside 31 nominations - including Best Film at Berlin International Film Festival. The TikTok user added: "It shows how they built the company up, how cutthroat business is. "I remember everyone having a BlackBerry. I remember it being absolutely huge. "Glenn Howerton give a truly incredible performance, which is definitely worth checking out. If you're a fan of true stories like me, you'll definitely enjoy this film." Commenting on his post, one user said: "Classic movie, watched it yesterday." Another user added: "Giving this a go, cheers!" A third user said: "Was brilliant." Reviewing the movie on IMDb, one viewer said: "Watching these movies about the crazy cutthroat businesses of the 80s and 90s is very entertaining. "This movie was great, well acted, fast paced and fun throughout. I myself grew up during the time of the Blackberry but didn't know anything about their story, so this was a fascinating look into how crazy the tech world was at the time. "The real gem of the entire movie though was the Golden God himself, Glen Howerton. I've been a fan of Always Sunny and I'm always interested in what the cast does outside of that show. "I haven't seen Glen in a serious role yet but he delivered. In Always Sunny Glen plays a sociopath who is constantly getting angry, you could tell that in Blackberry he was able to use that for his character. Glen was by far the best part of this movie, funny and intimidating all at the same time." Another added: "I may be biased, but as a Canadian, the story of Blackberry isn't just one of the greatest business stories of all time, but a story about Canada. Really, Research in Motion and Blackberry represent what a lot of Canadians feel: we have great potential to do amazing things, but we need to be perfect, because the titan down south - the United States - will eat our lunch as soon as they're able to."
