Good news, fans! Netflix gave Bloodhounds Season 2 the go-ahead on January 16, 2025. The announcement hit social media with a teaser clip on YouTube featuring stars Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi, sparking a frenzy online. Production is already rolling, with filming kicking off in September 2024 and the cast gathering for a script reading in early 2025. It's safe to say the show's coming back with a punch Bloodhounds Season 2 Release Date Speculation
No official release date yet, but let's piece together the clues. Filming started last September and is expected to wrap by spring 2025. The first season took about a year and a half from filming to release, so we're looking at late 2025—maybe November or December—or possibly early 2026. Some buzz on X hints at a summer 2025 drop, but that feels ambitious given the timeline. Bloodhounds Season 2 Plot: What to Expect
Season 1 followed Kim Gun-woo and Hong Woo-jin, two former marines and boxers, as they teamed up with a benevolent moneylender to dismantle a ruthless loan shark ring led by Myeong-gil. The season ended with their victory, but unresolved dark forces set the stage for new challenges.
Season 2 will see Gun-woo and Woo-jin reunite to take down a global illegal underground boxing league led by Baek-jeong. According to Netflix, Baek-jeong uses his overwhelming power to lure Gun-woo into the dark world of underground fighting, promising high-stakes action and emotional depth. The plot is expected to expand on the webtoon Bloodhounds by Jeong Chan, focusing on the duo's fight for justice while navigating new allies and enemies.

Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald on how Adam Sandler's ‘Happy Gilmore' changed golf
From left: Christopher McDonald and Adam Sandler in "Happy Gilmore 2." Scott Yamano/Netflix In the original film, Sandler played the brash and anger-prone titular character, a former hockey player who dreamed of playing for his beloved Boston Bruins, but found that his slap-shot skills were better suited for the back nine. Trying to raise money to save his grandmother's Connecticut home, Sandler's Happy turned into an unlikely pro-golf star, with his unorthodox play and feisty demeanor drawing a whole new (and wild) fanbase to the game. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up ''Happy Gilmore' the movie and Happy Gilmore the character gave this kind of cool, weird cachet to golf,' said Julie Bowen, 55, who reprises her role from the original film as Happy's love interest, Virginia Venit. She added, in a recent Zoom interview, 'There's a little bit of that rock 'n' roll rebel attitude that I guess it turns out we all want to claim for our own, even the golf world.' Advertisement Julie Bowen in "Happy Gilmore 2." Courtesy of Netflix Advertisement Set decades after the first film, the sequel features Happy now married to Virginia, with a big family of kids. But after stepping away from golf, Happy is forced to pick up his clubs again to win enough money to pay for the prestigious ballet school his daughter Vienna (played by Sandler's real-life daughter Sunny) wants to attend. While the original film poked fun at the sport and its old-fashioned conventions, golfers new and old have embraced 'Happy Gilmore' since it hit the big screen nearly three decades ago, with a who's who list of legends and today's stars lining up for parts in the sequel, including Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Lee Trevino, and even the great Jack Nicklaus. McDonald recalled his first day on set, where he wanted to just stop by and 'get a lay of the land,' which happened to be when a lot of current and former golf pros were filming a scene. 'They're all sitting there, and I waited for a break and I walked in, and then all of a sudden they all looked at me and went, 'Shooter!',' said McDonald. 'It was one of those magic moments that I wish I could encapsulate, but it'll always be in my mind.' 'I would sit down and talk to Jack Nicklaus, I mean come on, for like an hour,' he added. 'He was the nicest guy in the world, giving me tips here and there and just talking about his career.' From left: Adam Sandler and Rory McIlroy on the set of "Happy Gilmore 2." Scott Yamano/Netflix The list of celebrity cameos goes beyond golf to include Eminem, Margaret Qualley, Post Malone, Travis Kelce, and Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (a.k.a. Bad Bunny). Advertisement Tim Herlihy, who co-wrote the first film with Sandler, also co-wrote 'Happy Gilmore 2' with the New Hampshire-raised comic. Dennis Dugan, who directed the original, reprises his role as golf tour commissioner Doug Thompson in the sequel, which is directed by Kyle Newacheck. Other returning faces include Ben Stiller as the wacky orderly Hal L. Having worked with Sandler on the original film and more recently on the 2020 Salem-set comedy 'It's a boyish enthusiasm and something that was evident from the first 'Happy Gilmore,'' said Bowen. 'He's really collaborative and fun to work with and become only more so over the years.' 'He's got that director's head at all times, and if a scene is not working … he'll go, 'How do we make this better? Let's change that. Let's do this',' said McDonald. Adam Sandler in "Happy Gilmore 2." Courtesy of Netflix Bowen, a Brown University graduate, said Sandler's mix of heart, humor, and rage made Happy's angry New Englander persona memorable. 'There's something really lovely and raw and real about people that lead from the heart like that,' she said. The actress described the new film as 'a little bit more sad and heartfelt' than the first movie, but with a big focus on family, which is no surprise as Sandler is 'a dad first and foremost' whose happy place is with his loved ones, according to Bowen. In addition to his daughter Sunny, Sandler's other daughter Sadie and wife Jackie have roles in the film. 'He says he's happy that [his daughters have] gotten into acting, I'm like, did they have a choice?,' Bowen joked. 'They grew up on a set because he loves being with them.' Advertisement 'He really wanted to bring in his life experience and highlight how important family is to him,' she added. 'And that's a no-brainer for me. I mean, my kids own me, you know, and he gets that. So being surrounded by all the kids, piles of kids, it was just pure joy.' McDonald, who got his start in acting at the Charles Playhouse in Boston after graduating college ('It all started in Beantown, baby!' he quipped), said that, even after all these years in the business and hundreds of credits to his name, Shooter is still the role he gets recognized for the most. Christopher McDonald in "Happy Gilmore 2." Courtesy of Netflix 'To this day, I mean, I can't walk through an airport or walk down the street in New York or in Boston, and I'll hear, 'Shooter!' And I give them the old thing,' McDonald said. 'It's really a joy, and I'm glad I'm back, and I'm over the moon about how it turned out.' 'Happy Gilmore 2 ' premieres Friday on Netflix.

For Late Night, Epstein-Trump Is the Comedy Gift That Keeps On Giving
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night's highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now. The Hits Keep Coming New footage of Jeffrey Epstein being questioned by the government in 2010 emerged this week — 'and you'll never guess whose name came up,' Josh Johnson said on Thursday. 'Go ahead — guess.' In the video, the multimillionaire financier and convicted sex offender is asked if he'd ever 'socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18,' and responds by asserting his Fifth, Sixth and 14th Amendment rights. 'I'm going to put that down as a 'yes,'' Johnson said. 'I'll be honest, I've never heard anybody plead anything other than the Fifth before. But this guy's so guilty, he's calling out every amendment he can think of, like, 'No, no, no, what's the one with the women voting? Uh, 19th? Throw that in, too.'' — JOSH JOHNSON 'Wow. Not a great sign when the pedophile is being asked if you're doing a pervert ride-along, and their response is, 'I'd like to invoke the entire Constitution, the Magna Carta, the Napoleonic Code, and just to cover my bases, let's throw in the entire Cheesecake Factory menu.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'So, we don't know if he was doin' the creepy crimin', but we do have a cover-up. And just like the cover-up on his face, it is patchy, and there's something really ugly under there.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'Jeffrey Epstein died back in 2019, but not since Tupac Shakur has a dead man dropped so many bangers.' — JOSH JOHNSON Want all of The Times?

Michelle Buteau talks saying goodbye to 'Survival of the Thickest' and her 'first true love' stand-up comedy
Buteau celebrates stand-up as a Gala star at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal From her incredible success with the Netflix series Survival of the Thickest and history-making stand-up shows, including being the first woman to film a comedy special at Radio City Music Hall, Michelle Buteau is one of the most beloved talents in entertainment. So the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal is lucky to have her featured as a Gala star. Whether she's acting, doing stand-up comedy, hosting, writing or producing a project, she excels at it all. But no matter how many hats she's worn in her career of more than 20 years, stand-up is her "first true love." "I fell in love with stand-up and everything else is just cherries on the cake," Buteau told Yahoo Canada. "When you get the Gala spot at JFL, it feels like you've won Formula One. ... When you start stand-up, there are a handful of things, especially New York comedians, always talk about getting. An SNL audition, or a Late Night spot, and JFL was right up there. So this is very exciting. I mean, it's been a long time, so very happy to be doing it." As Buteau highlighted, there's nothing like experiencing the thrill of a live stand-up show. But through her comedy specials on streaming sites and leveraging online platforms, Buteau has really been able to make her work available to people around the world. It's that accessibility component that's important for her. "There's a non-binary teenager in Kenya that's reaching out to me, a 62-year-old lesbian in Bulgaria, ... then there's cities in Brazil ... using my catchphrase," Buteau said. "It makes comedians feel like rock stars." Michelle Buteau is 'tired' of people being told their 'not worthy' With the success of Survival of the Thickest, the show has been praised for being particularly sex-positive, as the lead character Mavis (played by Buteau) works to thrive mentally, emotionally and sexually. "When we talk about mental health and making people feel good, it isn't just about how you look. It's about how you feel. And it's about how you feel in all chapters of your life," Buteau said. "So whether it is a piece of clothing, whether it is food, whether it is attention, whether it is sex, all of it is meant to build you up, not tear you down." "[I'm] sick and tired of the conversation, especially in and around the arts, film and TV, of bigger bodies always having to feel very grateful that someone finds them desirable, which is just plain bullshit. ... Since the beginning of time there has been thick people who have been loved on and dicked down. It's just like, excuse me, why is this such a wild concept that somebody would love their body? And honestly, it is what we are going through today and what we've been going through also since the beginning of time. It's control. It is a mental prison. If you tell people they are not worthy ... they're going to believe you, they're not going to feel good about themselves. And I'm so tired of that." Buteau added that what's great about having Survival of the Thickest on Netflix, which is available in 190 countries, is how many people she can reach with the show's core messaging. "I know that I can reach people of all gender expressions, of all sizes and shapes, and say, 'Hey boo, you look f—king good and you're worthy of whatever you want,'" she said. "That's why I made my character a stylist, because I think the platform of fashion can showcase the injustices. ... It's also a good excuse to be like, 'Hey, I need a lot of money for fashion.'" While we already know that Season 3 of Survival of the Thickest will be the show's last, a tough hit for many fans, Buteau is ready to go out with impact. "It feels earned and deserved," Buteau said. "I'm really lucky ... that I found something I love to do, and so I don't take the responsibility lightly. We're going to blow it up ... in the best possible way." "I know people are bummed that it won't be coming back, but it's actually such a gift to know that it is the third and final. I don't think a lot of platforms and networks give you that information all the time."
