Last week Swardson took to Instagram and wrote:
Had to delete my post before because it wasn’t officially announced. Now it is. Happy Gilmore 2 with my mentor and one of my best friends. Can’t wait. Hope you like it. Start filming this summer and fall tour.
Per Netflix:
It’s been almost 30 years since we last saw Happy Gilmore, the long-driving hero who won in the Tour Championship in 1996. Now, we finally get to catch up with him in a new sequel. That’s right, Adam Sandler is returning to the golf green as Happy Gilmore, and he’s bringing his powerful slap shot with him. No word on any alligators.
Sandler fans have been waiting for an update on the long-rumored sequel. Characters from Happy Gilmore have even popped up in Jack and Jill, Little Nicky, and Hubie Halloween. But Sandler’s hotheaded driver is finally coming back, and now is the perfect time to refresh your memory on his triumphant 1996 golf season (now streaming on Netflix).
At the end of the original Happy Gilmore, Sandler’s titular character was finally at rest after a long, strenuous season of golf (and one knockdown brawl with The Price Is Right’s Bob Barker). On a mission to raise enough money to pay the IRS for his grandmother’s years of delinquent back taxes (oops), the failed hockey player took his skills on the road as the most unorthodox golf player the Tour Championship had ever seen.
