AceShowbiz - Netflix is bringing back "Happy Gilmore" for a sequel, and the cast is starting to take shape. Following news that the film was in development, Adam Sandler has revealed that Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and boyfriend of Taylor Swift, will be joining the project.

Kelce has openly expressed his desire to appear in the sequel, having previously stated on his podcast that he would even be willing to be an extra. Sandler confirmed Kelce's involvement on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", teasing a "nice something" for the player.

The sequel's storyline and cast are still largely unknown. Sandler and original co-writer Tim Herlihy are behind the script, and production is set to begin in September in New Jersey. Sandler has shared that many real golfers will be making cameos in the film, including Christopher McDonald, who played Happy's rival Shooter McGavin in the original movie. Julie Bowen, who portrayed Happy's love interest Virgina Venit, is also a likely candidate to return.
