The viewers have spoken, as The Santa Clauses is returning for Season 2! For a lot of, it was a pleasure to see Tim Allen reprise his position as Scott Calvin alongside the remainder of the Santa Clause forged. Whereas followers loved seeing the OG stars, the franchise additionally added some newcomers within the Disney+ sequence, and that pattern goes to proceed. It has been revealed {that a} new star has been added to the forged for the second season, and it is a Trendy Household alum.
Disney+ formally introduced that the Christmas-themed fantasy comedy sequence is at the moment in the course of manufacturing for the second season. And with Season 2, the Home of Mouse stored issues within the household, as they introduced again a beloved star from ABC (which is owned by the multimedia conglomerate). Trendy Household alum Eric Stonestreet will be part of the Disney+ TV sequence and is ready to play a brand new character known as Magnus Antas (a.okay.a. Mad Santa). Antas is a 14th-century Santa Clause who returns to reclaim the North Pole from Scott Calvin. With the reveal of Stonestreet’s trouble-making newcomer, followers additionally acquired some particulars on the brand new season by the use of an official synopsis:
Within the second season, the Calvin household is again within the North Pole as Scott Calvin continues his position as Santa Claus after retirement plans had been thwarted when failing to discover a worthy successor in season one. Now that Scott and his household have efficiently saved Christmas, Scott turns his focus in direction of coaching his son Calvin to finally take over the ‘household enterprise’ as Santa Claus.
Eric Stonestreet has been within the leisure enterprise for a while now, however he really broke by means of, due to his position as Cameron Tucker on the long-running comedy sequence. The actor starred on all 11 seasons of the present and received two Primetime Emmys for his work. His Santa Clauses casting positively provides additional legitimacy to the sequence. This may even mark his third live-action gig because the conclusion of the Emmy-winning Trendy Household.
By way of the season’s precise plot, it appears like Scott Calvin is seeking to put together his youngest son to step up and take the mantle so he can correctly retire. The primary season noticed Tim Allen’s Scott faucet Kal Penn’s Simon Choksi to be his successor just for Choksi to change into the principle antagonist. So after Choksi’s demise, it seems Christmas will face one other menace from Stonestreet’s Mad Santa. And the brand new baddie shall be joined in his quest to regain the North Pole by his sidekick Olga, an unsympathetic and surly gnome, performed by The Mysterious Benedict Society forged member Marta Kessler.
Eric Stonestreet’s newest position is a significant departure from the fun-loving, overzealous farm boy Cameron Tucker, however he is acquired the performing chops to nail the half. There’s no telling what bother Mad Santa will trigger the outgoing and future Santa Clauses. I am excited to see what he brings to certainly one of Disney’s most beloved franchises.
