Adam Sandler is all set to reprise his role in Happy Gilmore 2, a sequel to the 1996 hit movie.

The original movie, which was released almost 30 years ago, featured Adam as a leading man, who unraveled his talent for golf in Happy Gilmore after he failed as an ice hockey player.

Adam rose to fame with his role in the movie, which is still considered one of his funniest movies, per Screen Rant.

The Hustle actor recently offered a tease of an upcoming sequel after he appeared on the Dan Patrick Show in December.

“I don’t know 100%, but I think around July,” said Adam when asked about the release of the movie next year.

The Murder Mystery star explained, “We’re trying to get it done in time for July. You never know what’s going to happen. We’re just finishing today, it’s the last day.”

The outlet reported that the sequel was confirmed earlier this year after Netflix came onboard.

In September, Adam opened up that the sequel has begun filming via Instagram
