The start of July saw Netflix add Happy Gilmore to its lineup, finally giving subscribers the chance to rewatch the 1996 comedy leading up to the sequel’s debut. What makes this addition such a nice surprise is the fact that it wasn’t actually part of Netflix’s announced plans for July.
The Netflix newsletter for July didn’t mention adding Happy Gilmore, making it seem like people wouldn’t be able to stream both of Sandler’s films on the same service. However, when the calendar flipped on Tuesday morning, Happy Gilmore popped up on Netflix’s roster, giving subscribers three weeks to watch it before Happy Gilmore 2 premieres.
Over the last few years, Netflix has become the go-to destination for streaming Adam Sandler projects, thanks in large part to the first-look deal that Sandler has with the service.
