“I’ve lost my powers! The magic left me high and dry…” How will he ever get off his own Naughty List now? Universal has debuted a recent promo featurette for holiday comedy Violent Night 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the smash hit Violent Night from 2022 about what if Santa was a full-on tough guy badass. After seeing one trailer before, this latest featurette re-introduces the two leads: David Harbour as Buff Santa Claus and Kristen Bell as Mrs. Claus. Directed once again by Tommy Workola, along with the 87North stunt team, same producers and writers. Stranded in a crumbling New Jersey mall, cut off from the North Pole, Santa is trapped dishing out violent justice to a ruthless Crime Lord and his henchmen overrunning the town’s mall. Harbour reprises his role in a propulsive recent chapter in yuletide mayhem from 87North – the powerhouse action producers of Bullet Train, John Wick, The Fall Guy, Atomic Blonde and the Nobody franchises. The cast features Jared Harris, Joe Pantoliano, Daniela Melchior, Andrew Bachelor, and AEW wrestler Maxwell Friedman. Yep, this continues to look as crazy as ever – but will it be good?
Here’s the fun “A Look Inside” promo for Tommy Wirkola’s sequel Violent Night 2, found on Twitter:

You can rewatch the first trailer for Tommy Wirkola’s Violent Night 2 movie right here for more footage.
If you’re nice, you get presents from the Big Guy. If you’re naughty, you get justice. In 2022’s bare-knuckle holiday sensation, Violent Night, an embittered Santa, armed with lethal combat skills, took out a team of mercenaries to rescue a girl & her family. Now, not-so-jolly Saint Nick suits up again to take on a ruthless gangster (Jared Harris) terrorizing the merchants of the Silver Bell Mall. But when Santa forgets the true meaning of Christmas, he finds himself in the heart of a lively mall community in desperate need of his support. Sapped of his magic, he’ll need another way to take on the goons threatening the mall, and time is running out. Santa has to rediscover his faith in goodness & call in some last-minute reinforcements from the one person no baddie wants to tangle with: Mrs. Claus (Kristen Bell). Violent Night 2 is again directed by Norwegian genre filmmaker Tommy Wirkola, of the movies Kill Buljo: The Movie, Dead Snow, Kurt Josef Wagle and the Legend of the Fjord Witch, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead, What Happened to Monday, The Trip, Violent Night, Thrash, and animated Spermageddon. It’s also again written by Pat Casey & Josh Miller. Produced by Kelly McCormick and David Leitch. Universal debuts Wirkola’s Violent Night 2 in theaters nationwide starting December 4th, 2026 later this year. Who’s in?
