According to the screenwriter, he has not discussed anything with the Murder Mystery actor about a new sequel, but though they would not completely rule out the possibility.

He told The Hollywood Reporter, “Not between me and Adam. I can say we haven’t had one discussion about it. I haven’t even thought about it in the privacy of my own brain. I’m sure some people in the world are talking about it.”

Herlihy continued, “Never say never, I guess. We said we’d never do Happy Gilmore 2, and it’s currently streaming on Netflix, so you never know.

Happy Gilmore 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
