Drew Barrymore confirms Happy Gilmore 2 is in the works for Netflix. Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy will return to develop the script.
In a clip released on a recent episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show”, the actress said “I want it. I need it. And I stayed up last night with my daughter watching ‘Billy Madison…“I sent [Adam] Sandler a video of that, and then he sent me another video back, and I’m waiting to see if he’s confirming about the ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ script because actor Christopher McDonald, who was Shooter McGavin … he was in the original 1996 film, but he claims that Adam recently showed him a copy of the first draft of the sequel to ‘Happy Gilmore.'”
Barrymore and Sandler have remained good friends across three films they have starred in together, including “The Wedding Singer” (1998), “50 First Dates” (2004), and “Blended” (2014).
Currently, it is unknown as to what direction the plot will take, and who may be cast.
