There is no official confirmation or development of a sequel to Little Nicky (2000), despite recent rumors and a viral poster suggesting a 2025 release for Little Nicky 2: Hell Takes a Vacation. The poster, which circulated widely on social networks, claimed that the film would premiere on Netflix in May 2024 or March 2025, with Adam Sandler reprise his role of Nicky. However, multiple reliable sources, such as The Direct, Snopes, and Yahoo Entertainment, have denied these claims, confirming that the poster is a fan-made hoax. The image was edited from original promotional material for Little Nicky, with no official advertisements from Sandler, Netflix or any production team.
Little Nicky’s original movie had a production budget of between $80 and $85 million, but it was a box-office flop, grossing just $58.3 million globally. Despite its financial failure and poor critical reception, the film has become a cult film over the years, largely due to its quirky humor and Sandler’s singular portrayal of the devil’s son. This cult status has fueled fan interest in a sequel, but no plans have been confirmed for Little Nicky 2. Adam Sandler has recently expressed no interest in taking up the character, and his current commitments to other Netflix projects, such as Happy Gilmore 2, make the likelihood of a sequel even lower.
While the fake poster generated enthusiasm among fans, it also highlighted the enduring appeal of Sandler’s earlier works. However, the lack of updates or official announcements suggests that Little Nicky 2 is still pure speculation. The original film’s financial struggles and its disappearing legacy likely contribute to the reluctance to give the green light to a sequel. For now, Little Nicky remains a cult indie classic, and any rumors about a sequel should be taken with scepticism unless confirmed by official sources.
