Universal Pictures releases the official trailer for “Violent Night 2,” the sequel to the 2022 action film “Violent Night.” The trailer shows David Harbour returning as Santa Claus, described across coverage as an action hero facing a new threat during the holiday season. Multiple outlets highlight Kristen Bell’s role as Mrs. Claus, giving audiences a first look at her character and framing her as a key part of Santa’s efforts to resolve the situation.
The synopsis and plot details presented in the sources describe Santa becoming trapped away from the North Pole, with the story taking place in a hostile setting where a crime leader and henchmen overrun part of the environment, cutting Santa off from help. The trailer also emphasizes the film’s action elements, including fights and weapon use, as Santa and Mrs. Claus work to save Christmas and deal with the “naughty list” problem referenced in the promotional materials.
The sequel is directed by Tommy Wirkola, who directed the first film, and the new chapter includes additional cast members such as Jared Harris and Joe Pantoliano, alongside other performers listed by the outlets. “Violent Night 2” is scheduled to be released on December 4.
