Kal Penn Joins the Cast of the Disney+ Sequel Series THE SANTA CLAUSE
Actor Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar, House, Designated Survivor) has joined the cast of the Santa Clause sequel series that is heading to Disney+. He is joining returning franchise stars Tim Allen and Elizabeth Mitchell.
Allen is reprising his role as Scott Calvin. Mitchell will reprise her role as Mrs. Clause. “In the sequel series, Scott is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizing that he can’t be Santa forever. He’s suddenly starting to lose his Santa magic, and more important, he’s got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the North Pole. With a lot of elves, children and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the pole.”
Deadline reports that “Penn will play Simon Choksi, an ambitious game inventor and product developer and a devoted single father. Simon can talk the tech-mogul talk but can’t walk the walk, and his dreams of being the next Bezos falls drastically short. But all that changes after a visit to the North Pole.”
This is a great addition to the cast. My family is looking forward to this sequel series. How about you?
