Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix, Memento) and Jared Harris (Mad Men, Foundation) are set to join David Harbour in the cast of Violent Night 2 for Universal Pictures and 87North. Kristen Bell and Daniela Melchior are also on board. Tommy Wirkola will direct from a screenplay by Pat Casey and Josh Miller.

While exact plot details are under wraps, Harbour’s ass-kicking Santa Clause is back. And he’s not happy. It is unknown who Harris and Pantoliano will be playing.

The 2022 bare-knuckle holiday sensation Violent Night followed an embittered Santa, armed with lethal combat skills, who takes out a team of ruthless mercenaries to rescue a girl and her family. Now, it’s time for not-so-jolly Saint Nick to suit up again.

Pantoliano is coming off his Emmy-nominated guest role in the HBO hit series The Last Of Us. He was also recently seen in Bad Boys For Life. Harris can be seen next in the highly-anticipated Kathryn Bigelow thriller House of Dynamite, which just had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

Universal Pictures will release Violent Night 2 on Wednesday, December 4, 2026.
