A number of years in the past, Common Photos teamed with producers David Leitch and Kelly McCormick of 87North Productions and director Tommy Wirkola to convey us the extremely entertaining, R-rated vacation thriller Violent Night time (learn our 8/10 assessment at THIS LINK)… and now, Violent Night time 2 is gearing up, aiming for a December 4, 2026 theatrical launch. David Harbour will as soon as once more play Santa Claus within the sequel, and Deadline studies that he’s being joined within the solid by Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad) and Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars). Particulars on the characters they’ll be taking part in haven’t been revealed.
Violent Night time director Tommy Wirkola and screenwriters Patrick Casey and Josh Miller are again for Violent Night time 2. Whereas Casey and Miller have stayed busy in recent times by writing every movie within the Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy, they’ve taken the occasional break from scripting Sonic motion to write down about Santa Claus taking up unhealthy guys. Violent Night time confirmed what occurs when a workforce of elite mercenaries breaks right into a rich household compound on Christmas Eve, taking everybody inside hostage. However the workforce isn’t ready for a shock combatant: Santa Claus is on the grounds, and he’s about to indicate why this Nick isn’t any saint.
Miller advised Collider, “The Violent Night movies are not as big budget as the Sonic movies, but we still want this one to feel bigger than the first one. And you don’t want Santa just trapped in a mansion again.” Casey added, “Santa’s gonna take his shirt off even more in this one. We know what the people want. We know people are hungry for more of his Viking backstory. David is especially excited about that stuff.“ Miller also told Syfy Wire, “The first one obviously lived in a Die Hard space. We can’t tease too much (about Violent Night 2), other than we’re trying to bring in a little Western influence.” Casey talked about that they’ve thought of giving the sequel the subtitle Bloodbath on thirty fourth Road.
