Image For Bad Santa 2

 

After years of fostering pent-up demand, Bad Santa 2 is on course to storm theaters this November, and it’ll come packing all of the R-rated seasonal shenanigans that ensured the 2003 original went down as a cult hit.

Back in the fluffy red suit is Billy Bob Thornton as he gears up for another festive season of booze drinking and spewing a series of empty promises. That’s a snarky attitude that permeated through last week’s riotous first teaser, one designed to shed light on Bad Santa 2‘s ensemble cast.

Introducing a very unique and decidedly NSFW brand of festive cheer is Thornton’s Willie T. Stokes, flanked by Kathy Bates, Christina Hendricks as a potential love interest to our Bad Santa, Jeff Skwron, Jenny Zigrino, and Cristina Rosato. Mark Waters is behind the lens, directing from a script 13 years in the making.

Wilder. Drunker. Badder. For better or worse, Bad Santa 2 heralds the return of Billy Bob Thornton’s chain-smoking nihilist when Broad Green Pictures and Miramax launch the R-rated festive sequel into theaters on November 23.
