The Santa Clauses on Disney+ – Emmy® Award-winning actor Eric Stonestreet (“Modern Family”) stars as Magnus Antas, aka The Mad Santa, in season two of the Disney+ Original Series “The Santa Clauses,” which is set to debut this holiday season.
A rowdy and mercurial foe who often brandishes a cup of mead, Magnus Antas reigned during the 14th century and is now returning to take down Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) and reclaim the North Pole.
In the second season, the Calvin family is back in the North Pole as Scott Calvin continues his role as Santa Claus after retirement plans were thwarted when failing to find a worthy successor in season one. Now that Scott and his family have successfully saved Christmas, Scott turns his focus towards training his son Cal to eventually take over the “family business” as Santa Claus.
Season one of “The Santa Clauses,” which debuted Nov. 16, 2022, was a Top 5 most-watched original series on Disney+ by hour streamed during its Season’s Streaming campaign (Nov. 3-Dec. 31).
