New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: Happy Gilmore 2, Wicked, Death of a Unicorn and More

I’ve been waiting three decades for another warm glass of shut the hell up and it’s finally here. Happy Gilmore 2 arrives to Netflix this week, and we’re thrilled to confirm that Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller have all joined Adam Sandler for the sequel. Also out this week is Wicked, which is now on Prime Video, and the weird, darkly funny Death of A Unicorn, which drops on HBO Max this Saturday.

Nearly 30 years after the original came out, Happy Gilmore 2 is arriving on Netflix. The original film introduced us to Happy Gilmore, one of Adam Sandler’s most beloved characters of the 1990s, a hockey fanatic who realizes he can turn his slapshot into a lucrative golf swing. The sequel, out on Netflix this Friday, reunites much of the original cast, as well as cameos from several pro golfers, and Bad Bunny, too.

New on Prime Video July 25: Wicked

Oscar-winner Wicked has already been available on demand and Peacock at various times over the past year, but this week it also drops on Prime Video, so if you haven’t yet watched 2024’s musical/pop cultural phenomenon of the year, there’s no better time, especially since part two arrives this November in theaters.

New on Max July 25: Death of a Unicorn

Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega star as Elliot and Ridley Kintner, a father and daughter who accidentally kill a unicorn on the way to a weekend getaway in Death of A Unicorn. When Elliot’s billionaire boss (Richard E. Grant) learns about what happened – and hears the creature’s blood seems to have magical, curative properties, he decides to experiment with it and see what else it can do. Will Poulter, Anthony Carrigan, Sunita Mani, Jessica Hynes, and Téa Leoni co-star.
