One of the costars of the Disney+ show, The Santa Clauses, Casey Wilson, accused the show’s lead, Tim Allen, of being rude on set.
“Tim Allen was such a b—,” the Saturday Night Live alum declared on her podcast, B— Sesh: A Real Housewives Breakdown. “Worst, truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever.”
She remembered filming the scene where her character, the older version of Sarah from the original film who gave Scott Calvin/Santa Claus (played by Allen) soy milk, notices him entering her house and assumes he is a burglar.
“I’m supposed to throw things at him,” the actress recalled. “He’s coming down the chimney, obviously as Santa. And I am woken up thinking there’s an intruder – basically like a home invasion scene.”

After a successful first season, the Yuletide TV show was greenlit for another batch of episodes (released in 2023). Still, the franchise's future remains a mystery with the studio keeping mum on a potential third season.

Disney+ has dropped the trailer for Season 2 of The Santa Clauses, which finds the Calvin family back at the North Pole and Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) facing some stiff competition from Eric Stonestreet’s Magnus Anta (aka The Mad Santa).
“I am Santa, the rightful Santa,” Stonestreet exclaims in the trailer. “The Santa who occupies the North Pole now is a fraud!” He adds, “Revenge will be swift — and sweet. I am Santa, after all.”
In Season 2, Scott continues his role as Santa Claus after his retirement plans were thwarted when he failed to fine a worthy successor in Season 1. Now that Scott and his family have successfully saved Christmas, Scott turns his focus towards training his son Calvin to eventually take over the “family business” as Santa Claus.

The mood isn’t entirely cheery as Tim Allen faces some serious competition in the trailer for the second season of Disney+’s The Santa Clauses.
This holiday-themed series returns to the platform with its two-episode season premiere set for Nov. 8, following the first season that launched last year. Eric Stonestreet joins the cast as Magnus Anta, aka the Mad Santa, who was in charge of the North Pole in the 14th century and aims to challenge the current reign of Scott Calvin (Allen) and his family.
“I am Santa, the rightful Santa,” Stonestreet exclaims in the footage released Tuesday. “The Santa who occupies the North Pole now is a fraud!” He adds, “Revenge will be swift — and sweet. I am Santa, after all.”

Even though we're not done with Halloween, Disney isn't wasting anytime digging back into the world of Santa Claus with a second season of the Disney+ original series "The Santa Clauses." Tim Allen is back as jolly old Saint Nick, and now he's focusing on turning all the happenings at the North Pole into a family business. Elizabeth Mitchell is still as supportive as ever as Mrs. Claus, Cal Calvin Claus (Austin Kane) is preparing to eventually become Santa Claus at some point with a little Santa training program, and Sandra Calvin Claus is helping out in the background by taking care of the reindeer and whatnot.
Of course, getting the North Pole in shape for Christmas isn't their biggest concern; there's trouble brewing in the form of another Santa Claus. Eric Stonestreet ("Modern Family") is playing Magnus Antas or The Mad Santa. Apparently, he thinks Scott Calvin's version...

It's kind of baffling that "The Santa Clause" is one of those franchises that's still going on today. It feels like something we should be talking about in hushed whispers. Like, "Hey, remember that Disney movie where Tim Allen commits manslaughter against Santa Claus and then undergoes a Cronenbergian physical transformation into Jolly Old St. Nick after inadvertently entering a contractual agreement to take his place? The '90s were wild, man." To be fair, I'm sure even Allen had no idea he would still be playing the cynical toy marketing director turned fabled gift-giver Scott Calvin almost 30 years after starring in the original "Santa Clause".
Yet, here we are in 2023, with season 2 of the Disney+ sequel series "The Santa Clauses" right around the corner. Season 1, much like the feature-length "Santa Clause" sequels before it, was far from a critical darling, but it absolutely has its supporters and brought in...

Where’s Yelena Belova when you need her to take the piss out of Santa Claus for his version of the “superhero landing?” If it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, it’s because department stores are out of control by lining aisles with Christmas trees before the best holiday, Halloween, has a chance to shine.

How do you solve a problem like Chevy Chase? Throughout his lengthy career, the actor has had a long, troubled history of acting like a jerk to nearly everyone he's worked with, from the infamous backstage fight he had with Bill Murray upon leaving Saturday Night Live to his much-publicized feud with showrunner Dan Harmon while co-starring on the beloved NBC sitcom "Community." By many accounts, the star is, at best, annoying to work with, and, at worst, an insufferable jerk.
That behavior would seem to be the end-all, be-all explanation for why Chase's film career eventually floundered despite having a pretty strong start. Yet, like most things, that isn't the whole story: for one, Chase is an incredibly talented actor and comedian, despite his personal shortcomings. For another, his persona being what it is — this is the man who made a splash announcing himself on SNL as "I'm Chevy Chase,...

Eric Stonestreet, who comes off as a big teddy bear in ABC’s Modern Family, is about to get angry.

I thought Santa was supposed to be nice!
