Tim Allen's Santa Clause Return Revealed In First Disney+ Show Image
Disney+ releases the first look at Tim Allen reprising his role from The Santa Clause in the new limited series The Santa Clauses. First released in 1994, The Santa Clause starred Allen as the somewhat grumpy toy salesman Scott Calvin, who accidentally causes Santa to fall from his roof and is forced to take over the job. The Santa Clause was a critical and box-office success, and it spawned two sequels in 2002 and 2006 that earned more mixed reviews. Even so, the whole trilogy—particularly the first movie—has become an annual Christmastime tradition for many households.
The Santa Clause was Allen's first lead role in a film and remains one of his most beloved parts. Because of that, Disney announced earlier this year that Allen will be returning to the holiday franchise for a new Disney+ series. Titled The Santa Clauses, the show will follow Allen's Scott as he searches for a suitable replacement to take over the Santa job. He is getting older and cannot be Santa forever, and he wants his kids to experience life outside the North Pole. The Santa Clauses will also see the return of Elizabeth Mitchell, who played Mrs. Claus in the two sequels. Kal Penn boards the franchise as new character Simon Choksi as well.
