Spade, Segal Reject 'Tommy Boy' Sequel Without Farley

David Spade confirmed he rejected a pitch for a 'Tommy Boy' sequel, stating he could not do it without his late co-star Chris Farley, who was central to the original film's appeal. The proposed sequel would have focused on their characters’ children, but Spade felt it would be a 'sell out' and undermine the original's legacy. Director Peter Segal and Spade both stressed that Farley was irreplaceable and that any continuation without him would risk tarnishing the film’s reputation. 'Tommy Boy,' released in 1995, gained cult status over the years, particularly through home video. Spade and Farley had discussed working together on more films before Farley's death in 1997. Fans can revisit the film with its recently released 4K Ultra HD version, but a true sequel will not be made.
