When to Watch The Santa Clauses
Disney+ set The Santa Clauses release date at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT on Wednesday, November 16. The streaming service will immediately release the first two episodes, while the remaining four will debut weekly until the series finale on December 14. The first episode was directed by Jason Winer from a script by Jack Burditt. The story will follow the events seen in 2006’s The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, so fans can expect many familiar Santa Clause faces to show up in the upcoming series.
The Santa Clauses stars Tim Allen as Scott Calvin/Santa Claus, Elizabeth Mitchell as Carol/Mrs. Claus, Elizabeth Allen-Dick as Sandra, Devin Bright as Noel, Austin Kane as Cal, Matilda Lawler as Betty, Rupali Redd as Grace, and Kal Penn as Simon Choksi.
“Scott Calvin is back! After being Santa Claus for nearly thirty years, he’s as jolly as ever,” reads the synopsis. “But as Christmas declines in popularity, so does his Santa magic. Scott struggles to keep up with the demands of the job, as well as being there for his family. Upon discovering there is a way to retire from his post, Scott considers stepping down as Santa Claus and finding a worthy successor so that he can become a better father and husband.”
The Santa Clauses hails from executive producer and showrunner Jack Burditt, best known for his work on hit shows such as 30 Rock, Modern Family, and Frasier. In addition to starring, Allen will also be executive producing. It is a production by 20th Television. Executive producers are Kevin Hench, Richard Baker, and Rick Messina.
