The release of “ Happy Gilmore 2 ,” the Netflix sequel to the 1996 comedy hit, is just days away. While Hollywood hot shots might be sweating audience awareness polls or gauging social media chatter, Tim Herlihy — who co-wrote both films with star Adam Sandler — has a more pressing concern: catching up with yard work at his quiet Connecticut home.

Adam Sandler returns as the golfer with anger issues in director Kyle Newacheck's sequel that is now streaming.

Meanwhile, Sandler and Bowen reacted to Bowen’s shocking “Happy Gilmore 2” death during an interview with Entertainment Weekly published shortly after the movie’s release. The “Modern Family” star suggested that her character needed to die to drive Happy and the events of the film.

Happy Gilmore 2 is finally here, and the long-awaited sequel to one of Adam Sandler's funniest movies has plenty more great jokes to tell.

Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, gushed over Sandler’s touching easter egg dedicated to the late Disney star. Reps for Sandler and Netflix didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment.

Adam Sandler's long-awaited sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, premiered on Netflix this past Friday and has set lots of immediate streaming records.
