The setup
Violent Night 2 (2026)
When Santa forgets the true meaning of Christmas, he finds himself in the heart of a lively mall community in desperate need of his help. 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 and call in some last-minute reinforcements from the one person no baddie wants to tangle with: Mrs. Claus.
It shares its release window with The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives, so expect the two fanbases to be reacting side by side.
Violent Night 2 opens in theaters on December 4, 2026.
