Two decades after the original cult comedy, Little Nicky 2 (2025) returns with more absurdity, more underworld antics, and the same lovable, awkward half-demon caught between worlds. Adam Sandler reprises his role as Nicky, the sweet-natured son of Satan, in a sequel that dials up the chaos and charm with a modern twist.
After years of peaceful living on Earth with his girlfriend Valerie and their half-angel, half-demon teenage son, Nicky is unexpectedly called back to Hell. Satan (again voiced with diabolical humor by Harvey Keitel) is preparing to retire permanently, and the underworld is in disarray. One of Nicky’s long-lost siblings, Jezebel (fictional new character played by Aubrey Plaza), returns from exile with a plan to reform Hell into a tech-savvy empire of temptation—streaming evil directly into the hearts of mortals via social media.
Nicky, reluctant as ever, must once again save both realms. But this time, he’s not alone: his son Lucien (played by Noah Jupe) tags along for the ride, adding a father-son dynamic that blends coming-of-age awkwardness with supernatural silliness. Familiar faces return—including the metalhead roommates, talking dog Mr. Beefy (voiced again by Robert Smigel), and even cameos from the original “evil brothers” now running a juice bar in Brooklyn.
The film balances slapstick gags, offbeat theology, and a surprising amount of heart. Sandler plays older Nicky with the same signature mumble and innocence, but now with a parental twist—trying to teach his son how to be good in a world that seems worse than Hell itself. Plaza’s Jezebel provides a fun, sarcastic foil with chaotic energy and dry one-liners.
Visually, Little Nicky 2 enhances its depiction of Hell with updated CGI, while still keeping the cartoonish tone that fans loved. There’s even a hilarious musical sequence in a demonic karaoke bar, featuring a battle of rock ballads between Heaven and Hell.
In the end, Little Nicky 2 isn’t trying to reinvent the underworld—it just wants to have fun with it. For fans of the original, it's a nostalgic, goofy ride that proves even demons deserve a second chance… and maybe a TikTok account.
