Even though Murder Mystery is one of Netflix's most-watched original movies of all time, with 73 million viewers in the first four weeks it was available to stream, it was still surprising when a sequel was announced four months after it premiered, if only because Adam Sandler rarely plays the same role twice.

With the exception of Sony's animated Hotel Transylvania franchise, the fourth installment of which is set to be released this August, the Happy Madison head honcho has been fronting his own brand of comedy vehicles for over a quarter-century, but Grown Ups is the only one of Sandler's films to ever get another outing.

Of course, the 25th anniversary of Happy Gilmore rekindled interest in the fan favorite film, prompting requests for a new picture in which the title character and Shooter McGavin battle it out on the senior's tour, an idea that Sandler stated he could support. The 54-year-old, however, quickly followed up by claiming that the internet has always been more excited about the potential of a sequel than he is.

Naturally, the mere hint of a possible Happy Gilmore 2 sparked the rumor mill, with insider Daniel Richtman now saying that the project is really in the works. Not only that, but he claims that Sandler is working on sequels to Billy Madison and The Waterboy, which the informant has previously revealed. The actor does not hold the rights to the three songs, which were recorded before Happy Madison Productions was created in 1999. This is an obvious hurdle.

To make even one of the three a reality, Netflix would have to buy the rights or Adam Sandler would have to find another studio to work with, because Happy Madison could not be involved due to the terms of his contract with the streaming service, and he'd essentially be a hired hand rather than the producer and creative driving force. However, Netflix definitely has the financial means to acquire the rights if they so desire, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.
