Happy Gilmore 2 is one of the most highly anticipated new comedy movies of the year, following an almost 30-year wait for the much demanded sequel.

The follow-up to the hit 1996 comedy revisits unconventional golfer Happy, who comes out of retirement to pay for his daughter Vienna’s (played by Sunny Sandler) ballet school.

Featuring the return of the original film’s beloved cast, including Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller, it’s expected to be watched by millions of fans when the film drops soon.

The cast also includes newcomers Benny Safdie and Bad Bunny, as well as an exciting collection of cameos and guest appearances from the likes of Travis Kelce, Margaret Qualley, Eminem and several professional golfers.

With the long-awaited sequel finally just around the corner, let’s take a look at what we know about Happy Gilmore 2’s release date.

When will Happy Gilmore 2 be released?

Happy Gilmore 2 is scheduled to be released by Netflix on Friday, 25th July.

As opposed to the original film, the Netflix Original sequel is following the trend of Sandler’s other streaming comedies and bypassing a theatrical release.

That means fans around the world will be able to watch the film whenever they want from this Friday, provided they have a Netflix subscription.

When it comes to what time the film will be released, this all depends on what timezone you’re in as the streaming service drops new releases concurrently in every territory.

Films and TV series tend to be released just after midnight in the Pacific Time Zone in the US as the Netflix offices are based in California.

For those living on the east coast States, the film will be released at 3am Eastern Time.

Meanwhile, UK viewers will be able to watch the film as early as 8am on Friday morning.

This means Happy Gilmore 2 will be waiting for most subscribers worldwide as soon as they switch on their TV screens on Friday morning.

The Friday release makes the sequel the perfect watch for viewers ready to laugh this weekend.

Moreover, as Happy Gilmore 2 is a Netflix Original, it won’t be leaving the platform any time soon, so fans have unlimited time to watch the comedy caper over and over again.

Happy Gilmore 2 will be released Friday, 25th July on Netflix.
