Violent Night Star David Harbour Gives Fans Waiting for the Sequel an Early Christmas Present

As a long-time cinephile who has been fortunate enough to witness the meteoric rise of David Harbour, I must say that this latest news about “Violent Night 2″ has me more excited than a kid on Christmas Eve! The first film was a delightful mix of action, comedy, and holiday spirit, and I can’t wait to see what Harbour, Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and Tommy Wirkola cook up for us next.

As a die-hard film fan, I couldn’t help but get excited when David Harbour recently shared a snap with Santa Claus on Instagram. The image ignited a flurry of comments about his Christmas movie “Violent Night,” which became an instant hit back in 2022 and quickly gained cult status. With the sequel to this holiday action-comedy in development for quite some time, Harbour’s photo holding a script titled “Violent Night 2” is certainly a promising sign that we might be getting a follow-up soon!

Wishing you a joyous Christmas, everyone, here’s a peek at our set! I’m cozying up by the fireplace with Santa Claus and a Santa hat myself, while holding a script clearly visible for fans. This post is courtesy of 87North Productions, hinting that the movie project is advancing nicely.

In the film “Violent Night“, Santa Claus, played by none other than Harbour himself, takes on an unusual role. Unlike traditional portrayals, this Saint Nick is more action-packed! The story unfolds with him gliding down a chimney into a luxurious residence where the inhabitants are being held captive by ruthless mercenaries. The responsibility of their rescue falls upon jolly old Kris Kringle, who proves he’s not all mistletoe and candy canes!

The upcoming sequel is penned by writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller, who also worked on the original film, while Tommy Wirkola resumes his directorial role. The production is slated to start in early 2025. In an interview with Bloody Disgusting, Wirkola offered some insights into the direction of the storyline.

He mentioned that there are items strewn about, just as the North Pole is scattered with snow, Mrs. Claus, and elves, he said. From a narrative perspective, I believe we have an incredibly intriguing concept that not only broadens the universe but maintains the beloved tone from the original work.

2025 promises to be an exceptional year for Chris Harbour. He will once again embody Jim Hopper in the last season of “Stranger Things” and assume a larger role than ever within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in “Thunderbolts” and the animated series “Marvel Zombies.” Additionally, Harbour has two films scheduled for release next year and two more upcoming TV shows listed on his IMDb page. If “Violent Night 2” moves quickly into production, it could bring a thrilling conclusion to Harbour’s 2025.

As a movie lover, I’m excited to share that you can catch “Violent Night” right now on Starz! If you prefer to watch it at your convenience, it’s also available for rental or purchase on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video. Enjoy the ride!
