The Santa Clause series marks yet another opportunity for Disney’s new streaming service to refresh and capitalize on existing franchises. It’s not the only ‘90s legacy franchise being rejuvenated — Disney+ has also launched a Mighty Ducks series geared at new viewers and nostalgic fans alike.

Per the series’ synopsis, “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.”Production on The Santa Clause is set to begin in March 2022 in Los Angeles.
