Netflix announced some huge news on Wednesday that will be sure to please Adam Sandler fans.
The streaming company announced that Sandler will be reprising his iconic role as Happy Gilmore in a new movie coming to the service.
“Happy Gilmore is back! Adam Sandler will reprise his iconic role in a brand new movie coming to Netflix.”

The new movie is expected to be a sequel to the original “Happy Gilmore,” which was released in 1996 and, along with “Billy Madison,” helped cement Sandler as a comedy star.
The only shame about another Happy Gilmore movie coming out is that Carl Weathers won’t be able to reprise his role as the great Chubbs Peterson. Weathers died in February at the age of 76.
Maybe the sequel to Happy Gilmore will answer some burning questions, namely: did Shooter ever win a green jacket? Did Happy and Virginia get married? How is Happy’s grandma doing? And did anything ever amount with Happy’s hockey career?
Thank goodness that Netflix is just easing the tension. It’s all in the hips!
