In March 2024, Christopher McDonald revealed that a sequel to Happy Gilmore was in development, and that Adam Sandler had shown him a draft of the script to read.[1]

In May, it was announced that Netflix had greenlit the film, taking over for the first film's distributor Universal Pictures.[2] Kyle Newacheck was hired to direct the film, with Tim Herlihy co-writing the screenplay with Sandler. In July, Nick Swardson announced he was star in the film.[3] In August, Sandler revealed Benny Safdie would have a role in the film,[4] with football player Travis Kelce set to make a cameo.[5] In September, McDonald and Julie Bowen were confirmed to be reprising their roles, with Bad Bunny, Margaret Qualley, and Maxwell Jacob Friedman also added to the cast.[6][7][8] John Daly would reveal he had filmed scenes for the film.[9]

Principal photography began on September 9, 2024, in New Jersey, coinciding with Sandler's 58th birthday.[10] A casting call took place at a hotel in Morristown, New Jersey.[11] Filming locations in New Jersey include a country club in Bedminster,[12] a burger shop in Garfield,[13] a golf center in Hackettstown,[14] a nail salon in Maplewood,[15] a beach in Middletown,[16] a deli in Millburn,[17] a French restaurant in Montclair,[17] a cafe in Morristown,[18] a public school in Newark,[19] Seton Hall University in South Orange,[15] a golf club in West Orange,[17] and Verona Town Hall in Verona Township.[20]
