“The Santa Clauses” returns this holiday season for second season and today Disney+ has released a first look at new series star Eric Stonestreet.
The Details
Eric Stonestreet, best known for his role on as Cameron Tucker on ABC’s long running “Modern Family,” joins the cast of season two as Magnus Antas (aka the Mad Santa), who reigned during the 14th century.
The mead-loving Magnus has decided to come out of retirement and is returning to try and take down Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) to reclaim the North Pole for himself.
About Season Two
In the second season, the Calvin family is back in the North Pole as Scott Calvin continues his role as Santa Claus after retirement plans were thwarted when failing to find a worthy successor in season one.
Now that Scott and his family have successfully saved Christmas, Scott turns his focus towards training his son Cal (Austin Kane) to eventually take over the ‘family business’ as Santa Claus.
But Magnus will try to take the title for himself.
Elizabeth Mitchell is also set to return as Carol (a.k.a. Mrs. Claus), as well as Elizabeth Allen-Dick as Sandra Calvin Claus, Devin Bright as Santa’s elf Noel and Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias as Kris “Kringle” Moreno.
Guest stars in this new season will include Tracy Morgan as Easter Bunny, Marta Kessler as Magnus’ sidekick Olga, Liam Kyle as Gary, Isabella Bennett as Edie, Sasha Knight as Crouton, Ruby Jay as Riley, Mia Lynn Bangunan as Pontoon, and Laura San Giacomo as La Befana, the Christmas Witch.
No date has been set for the season two debut, but we’ll let you know when we hear of one. In the meantime, you can binge season one of “The Santa Clauses,” along with the trilogy of films that inspired the series, on Disney+.
