Adam Sandler is set to return to the big screen with two highly anticipated projects in 2025: the sequel to Happy Gilmore, Happy Gilmore 2, and a coming-of-age film called Jay Kelly. While details about the storyline of Happy Gilmore 2 are scarce, it is set to be released on Netflix in 2025 and is likely to be one of the year’s most hotly anticipated comedies.
Jay Kelly, on the other hand, is being directed by Noah Baumbach and boasts a star-studded ensemble cast that includes George Clooney, Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, and many more. While the plot is still under wraps, the fact that Sandler has worked with Baumbach before on The Meyerowitz Stories, which received a Certified Fresh 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, is a strong indication that this film could be one of his best projects of the year.
Sandler’s ability to excel in both comedies and dramas is a key part of his enduring success, and his versatility has allowed him to maintain a strong career for over three decades. With two highly anticipated films on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the beloved comedian and actor.
In recent years, Sandler has found success on Netflix with films like the Murder Mystery franchise, You Are So Not Invited To My Bar Mitzvah, and Spaceman, and it is likely that both Happy Gilmore 2 and Jay Kelly will follow in the footsteps of his previous Netflix successes. With the critical acclaim that Jay Kelly has already received and the anticipation surrounding Happy Gilmore 2, it is likely that Sandler’s new movies will not only impress audiences, but also earn him praise from Hollywood’s critics.
