Happy Gilmore 2 Will Feature the Return of Ben Stillers Fan-Favorite Character on Netflix

As a long-time enthusiast of cinematic artistry, I eagerly anticipate the upcoming sequel to the iconic sports comedy, Happy Gilmore 2. Having grown up with the original film’s unforgettable characters, I am thrilled to see the return of one of my personal favorites, Hal L., portrayed by none other than the hilariously wicked Ben Stiller.


The eagerly anticipated sequel to “Happy Gilmore 2” is set to begin play, with indications that a cherished character will make a comeback alongside Adam Sandler’s volatile golfer. Via social media, it appears that Ben Stiller, known for his roles in “Tropic Thunder” and “Zoolander,” hinted at his return to portray Hal L., the cruel nursing home orderly from the initial film who subjected his residents, including Happy’s cherished grandmother, to mistreatment.

In response to a fan’s question on Twitter about the return of his wickedly funny character in the Netflix sequel, Stiller playfully cited one of his memorable lines from the original film: “You can bother me for a warm glass of… Shut your mouth! Now you will either go to sleep or I will make you sleep.”

Stiller’s character is among several beloved secondary characters in the initial “Happy Gilmore”. Apart from him, Shooter McGavin, portrayed by Christopher McDonald, is another significant one. Interestingly, McDonald has used social media to address comments made by Hal L. regarding Silver Acres Rest Home management… and more topics.

Originally launched in 1996, the film “Happy Gilmore” showcases Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, and the late, esteemed Carl Weathers. The story revolves around Happy, a struggling ice hockey player with an explosive temper, who stumbles upon golf as a hidden talent. Initially, the movie received mixed reviews when it was first released, but over time it has amassed a dedicated fanbase. Many fans are undoubtedly curious about how the upcoming Netflix sequel can possibly match up to its groundbreaking predecessor.

Certainly, bringing Ben Stiller back is a good start. You’re in his world now, grandma!

Earlier in the year, Netflix announced that they are producing a sequel to the popular sports comedy “Happy Gilmore.” This upcoming film marks nearly three decades since the initial release of the original. Adam Sandler will reprise his role as Happy Gilmore and collaborate with Tim Herlihy, the writer of the original movie, on the script.

In a change of plans, the original director Dennis Dugan won’t be back for “Happy Gilmore 2”. Instead, the project will be led by Kyle Newacheck, a renowned filmmaker recognized for his work on shows like “What We Do in the Shadows”, “Workaholics”, “Community”, and “Parks and Recreation”, as well as the movie “Murder Mystery” featuring Sandler and Aniston.

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about the upcoming comedy sequel! Just recently, Adam Sandler announced a significant update on its production, stating that cameras will roll very soon. In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he also disclosed that NFL champion and Taylor Swift’s partner Travis Kelce has bagged a role in the movie. To make things even more intriguing, Sandler also spilled the beans to IndieWire that Benny Safdie, my director from Uncut Gems, will have an interesting part in Happy Gilmore 2 as well!

“We’ve decided to make ‘Happy Gilmore,’ and we’re all set for it! Filming will take place in New Jersey, starting within a few weeks. We’ve put a lot of effort into the script, not wanting to disappoint anyone. Many have asked for this movie, and we’re genuinely thrilled about it. We’ve worked tirelessly on the script, and luckily, many golfers are graciously participating in it.”
