Here is your first look at the cast of “The Santa Clauses”!

Earlier this year, it was announced that Tim Allen would once again put on the iconic red Santa Claus suit for the Disney+ Original limited series, “The Santa Clauses”, based off the beloved Walt Disney Pictures’ “The Santa Clause” movie franchise that followed Scott Calvin (Allen) as he took on the unexpected role of Santa Claus.  The story started with 1994’s “The Santa Clause” before expanding to two sequels, 2002’s “The Santa Clause 2” and 2006’s “The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.”

For the Disney Original Series, Scott Calvin is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizing that he can’t be Santa forever. He’s starting to lose a step in his Santa duties, and more importantly, he’s got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the Pole. With a lot of elves, children, and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the pole.

Elizabeth Mitchell will reprise her role as Mrs. Claus (Carol) while Austin Kane and Elizabeth Allen Dick (Allen’s real-life daughter) will join the cast playing the roles of Santa and Mrs. Claus’ children, Cal and Santa.

Kal Penn will play the role of Simon Choksi, an ambitious game inventor and product developer who is a single dad to the Christmas-loving Grace (Rupali Redd), and the two will visit the North Pole for a grand adventure.  Devin Bright plays Noel, Santa’s trusted right-hand elf and Matilda Lawler takes on the role of Santa’s demanding Chief of Staff, Betty.

Unfortunately, there’s no word on whether Eric Lloyd who played the role of Santa’s son, Charlie, in the movies will make a cameo at all in the series.

We’ll keep you updated as more information, including the release date, is announced.

Stay Merry,
