Adam Sandler has a successful resume with memorable projects, including the 2000 comedy film Little Nicky. The film, released in 2000, stars Sandler as Nicky, the youngest son of Satan. When his brothers set out to Earth to cause chaos, Nicky must follow them and bring them back to Hell before their father dies. The gut-busting and unforgettable premise has led to Sandler's long-awaited sequel to the film. Recently a poster for the rumored second installment of Little Nicky has been circulating on social media.

Will there be Little Nicky 2?

A poster for the alleged second installment of Little Nicky has been circulating on social media. The image shows Adam Sandler’s character wearing a long red robe with pajama pants as he sits on a bench in front of the New York City skyline with his dog Beefy. The poster further states that the film will come to Netflix in May 2024.

The poster can easily be debunked as fake, as it uses the same background and format as the original film's poster with an updated New York skyline. The image of Sandler's face is copied directly from the first Little Nicky poster with a new outfit on his body, and the horns coming out of his hair are very clearly drawn on the image through Photoshop.

As of right now, there is no concrete information that Little Nicky 2 is happening, but that certainly hasn’t stopped Sandler supporters and film buffs from hoping that a sequel will happen somewhere down the pipeline. Considering the movie’s ending, however, one wouldn’t assume that there’s much story left to explore. Then again, Hollywood is typically in favor of recycling ideas and creating sequels, so perhaps a follow-up film isn’t out of the question.

In fact, Sandler even expressed interest in creating an unknown sequel back in 2011, although the Little Nicky title wasn’t mentioned. But considering nothing has been confirmed yet, a potential sequel does not have an official release date at this time. For now, it’s best to sit back and await to see if Little Nicky 2 is ever brought to fruition.
