‘Violent Night 2’ in the Works From Tommy Wirkola (Exclusive)
Drew Taylor - January 23, 2023

“Violent Night,” 2022’s “Bad Santa”-meets-“Die Hard” action movie, was a sleeper hit, making more than $75 million globally on a budget of only $25 million. (Plus untold riches from its PVOD release shortly after its theatrical bow.)

The Tommy Wirkola-directed and David Harbour-starring film saw Santa Claus, who in this mythology was originally an ancient Norse warrior, defend a family from killer thieves and also suggested a broader world.

And don’t worry, there will be more Christmases for Harbour’s Santa to save. “Yes,” Wirkola said when we asked if the sequel was happening. “We’re talking about it and we’re just making deals and getting everything in order.”

While speaking to TheWrap about the upcoming home video release of “Violent Night,” Wirkola said they wouldn’t shoot right away and have to get the script together. The second installment will also be written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller. But the team will use their time wisely.

“We have time to really crack the script and figure out the story,” Wirkola said. “And we have some ideas, me and Pat and Josh and the producers, we’ve been talking about where we want to take it and what we want to see.”

As for the story, expect to see a lot more of the traditional Santa Claus mythology, but with a “Violent Night” twist.

“There’s stuff we left on the floor like the North Pole, Mrs. Claus, the elves,” Wirkola said. (The original film was set largely at a Connecticut mansion under siege from the villains.) “But story-wise I think we have a really, really cool idea that expands on the world and scope, but still keeping that tone that we love from the first one.”

But remember, “Violent Night 2” will only happen if you are good boys and girls. Santa is always watching. He’s got a list. And he’s checking it twice.

The first was pretty good. I hope this one is even more violet though and really pushes the limits.

Violent Night was entertaining so I'm happy to hear a sequel is potentially in the works.

Can we just let original movies be original? For once, Hollywood, try not to be the stereotype people assume you are.

Violent Night 2: Violent Nightier

Didn't expect that but I'll watch it.

Loved the movie, but I would rather watch something original again instead of making comparisons as I watch “Another Violent Night”. I agree, as some have pointed out, that a sequel is not needed. I can’t see me watching a sequel to this, but if it’s for you, I hope you find it’s as good.

I had fun with the first but I feel like it should be a one and done. What's next? Santa defending his workshop from terrorists?

[Mikezilla3k]

Hope they focus more on Santa's backstory in this one, first film felt like they cut out scenes about it.

This is such a tired argument. Sequels, remakes & franchises have been around as long as there have been movies. The Thin Man had five sequels and a tv series. The Wizard of Oz from 1939 was at least the third filmed version. And the shared universe was pioneered not by the MCU but by the classic Universal Monsters series.

Really hope they don't redo the same storyline. Just have Santa get into a completely different batshit crazy situation he has to fight his way out of.

Either way I'm 100% in.

Silent Night's sequel and Nobody 2 got some positive updates from producer Kelly McCormick. Collider talked to the creative team behind these two fan-favorites. It seems like both of the sequels are well-underway. Bob Odenkirk and David Harbour are still welcome sights for fans at the movie theater. Right now McKormick and David Leitch are getting ready to release The Fall Guy into the world. But, things are speeding along on Silent Night and Nobody follow-ups. Both Odenkirk and Harbour are "fired up" to get things started. Fans can expect some news about Nobody 2 as early as the end of this year! Check out what they had to say down below!

They are going to release a Christmas themed action movie "beginning of next year"?

They are really dumb and want it to fail huh?

Production for Violent Night 2 starts possibly early next year.

David Harbour Confirms ‘Violent Night 2’ is Happening Soon

Some young gangster punk kills Rudolph and steals his sleigh sending Santa on a murderous spree of revenge. They could do an entire world of the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc. where they are all former badasses.
