Recently, the actor revealed that the sequel will include a soundtrack from the 1996 film. Talking about it, Sandler said:

Let us learn more about Sandler's comment on the soundtrack.
Happy Gilmore 2 to have soundtrack from the first film
Happy Gilmore 2 is featuring the soundtrack from the 1996 film. In an interview with Cinemablend, Adam Sandler discussed this. He said,
"When we put them in we were editing and we would throw the right song in from the past and it would give you just a whole other feeling for the scene. We were definitely trying to show respect for the first one throughout the movie and the feelings that gave you and connect the two. I’m glad you brought that up. Whenever we could and whenever it made sense we put a song in from the first one."
The original track might evoke nostalgia in viewers who enjoyed the first film. The official trailer for the sequel featured a song called "Tuesday's Gone" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which was used in the opening sequence of the original movie.
Happy Gilmore 2 is produced by Sandler, Tim Herlihy, Robert Simonds, and Jack Giarraputo. The film takes place 28 years after the events of the first, which saw him win his first Tour Championship. Gilmore, now retired, must return to golfing to pay for his daughter's ballet classes.

Speaking to Good Morning America, Sandler revealed that people kept asking him for a sequel, which led him to the film. He said,
"When I walk down the street a lotta times people will say, 'you ever gonna do Happy Gilmore 2? and for 28 years, I was like, 'What are you talking about? No.' And then all of a sudden I was like, 'Maybe.'"
Sandler said that Gilmore is now old.
"He's older. He's a little thicker, as you can tell from one of these camera angles."
Happy Gilmore 2 will be available to stream on Netflix starting July 25, 2025.
