Directed by Dan Mazer, Dirty Grandpa is a comedy film that revolves around Jason Kelly, a corporate lawyer, and his grandfather, Lt. Colonel Richard “Dick” Kelly. Following the death of his wife and Jason’s grandmother, Dick convinces him to go on a trip with him to Boca Raton, Florida, from their homes in Atlanta. The more they travel, the wilder Dick’s behavior becomes. Dirty Grandpa premiered on January 22, 2016. If you are wondering whether there will be a Dirty Grandpa 2, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all we know about Dirty Grandpa 2 and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there a Dirty Grandpa 2 release date?
There is no Dirty Grandpa 2 release date as the film hasn’t been officially announced yet.
As of late December 2023, the sequel to Dirty Grandpa hasn’t been officially greenlit. Even though Dirty Grandpa was commercially successful, earning $105.1 million at the global box office against its $11.5 million budget, it received extremely poor reviews from critics and has a 10% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In their reviews, many critics wondered what Robert De Niro, who portrays the eponymous grandfather, was doing in a film like this. There are reports that De Niro refused to do press for the film. Dirty Grandpa garnered five nominations at the 37th Golden Raspberry Awards, including for the Worst Picture and the Worst Actor for De Niro. Considering all this, Dirty Grandpa 2 is unlikely to happen.
The cast includes Robert De Niro as Lieutenant Colonel Richard “Dick” Kelly, Zac Efron as Jason Kelly, Zoey Deutch as Shadia, Aubrey Plaza as Lenore, Julianne Hough as Meredith Goldstein, Dermot Mulroney as David Kelly, Jason Mantzoukas as Pam, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman as Bradley, Jake Picking as Cody, Michael Hudson as Brah, Adam Pally as Nick, and more.
Why Dirty Grandpa 2 might not be happening
Dirty Grandpa 2 probably isn’t coming out because the film hasn’t been greenlit yet and is unlikely to be ever made. ComingSoon will provide an update if the circumstances change.
