Happy Gilmore 2 tees off on Netflix July 25. To celebrate, the streaming service is launching a collection of movies featuring Sandler and fellow Saturday Night Live alumni.
Sandler returns to one of his most iconic roles for the first time in almost 30 years. Stars returning from the 1996 comedy classic include Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald. Several actors from the Saturday Night Live family are also onboard for Happy Gilmore 2, including Kevin Nealon, Ben Stiller, Marcello Hernandez, Jim Downey, and Martin Herlihy.
But Netflix isn't waiting until July 25 to let fans stream their favorite SNL stars. Here's a breakdown of what's coming to Netflix in July, featuring SNL stars past and present (via Collider).
To no surprise, Happy Gilmore kicks things off. The film premiered just a year after Sandler left Saturday Night Live and has since become a cult classic. In addition to Nealon and Stiller, the original also featured SNL writer Robert Smigel in a minor role.
Sandler's 2010 movie Grown Ups also splashes down on Netflix July 1. He's joined by SNL alumni Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Maya Rudolph, Colin Quinn, Tim Meadows,
Conheads is one of only two movies on the list that came directly from a Saturday Night Live sketch. The 1993 comedy stars SNL alumni Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, Michael McKean, David Spade, Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, Adam Sandler, Laraine Newman, Garrett Morris, Kevin Nealon, Jan Hooks, Julia Sweeney, Tim Meadows, Tom Davis, and Jon Lovitz.
Animal House starring John Belushi, Good Burger with Kenan Thompson, Tommy Boy with Spade and Farley, and Zoolander with Stiller and Will Ferrell are also set to arrive on Netflix this month.
Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler are arguably the two biggest movie stars to come from Saturday Night Live (although Robert Downey, Jr. and Eddie Murphy may have something to say about that). The pair has created box office hits and some of the most quotable comedies of the past 30 years.
Netflix is giving Saturday Night Live fans a heavy dose of Ferrell this month, too. In addition to Zoolander, six other Ferrell movies arrive on the streamer in July.
Both Anchorman and Anchorman 2 will be available. SNL alumni David Koechner, Chris Parnell, Fred Armisen, Jerry Minor, Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler appear in the films.
Old School, Night at the Roxbury (with Chris Kattan, Molly Shannon, Colin Quinn, and Mark McKinney), Blades of Glory (with Amy Poehler), and The Other Guys (with Rob Riggle, Horatio Sanz, and Tracy Morgan) will also be there to add to your queue.
