Red-Band Trailer for HBO's Vulgar Stop-Motion Christmas Series SANTA INC. Starring Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogen
A red-band trailer and poster have been released for the HBO Christmas series, Santa Inc., a new stop-motion animated series for adults arriving on HBO Max this holiday season. The series follows an elf named Candy Smalls, played by Sarah Silverman, who is tired of the position of Santa Claus always being filled by a white man. She dreams of getting the job one day, and is trying to figure out a way to edge into the boys club that is the Christmas crew.
Silverman is joined in the cast by Seth Rogen (as Santa Claus), Leslie Grossman, Gabourey Sidibe, Nicholas Braun, Craig Robinson, Joel Kim Booster, and Maria Bamford. The series was created, written and showrun by Alexandra Rushfield, (Help Me Help You, In the Motherhood, Shrill). The series is directed by filmmaker Harry Chaskin (Buddy Thunderstruck, Cake).
Here’s the synopsis:
Santa Inc. tells the story of Candy Smalls (Sarah Silverman), the highest-ranking female elf in the North Pole. When the successor to Santa Claus is poached by Amazon on Christmas Eve, Candy goes for her ultimate dream— to become the very first woman Santa Claus in the history of Christmas.
This looks like it will be a pretty funny series, and something different from the classic holiday movies we watch regularly. Check out the trailer and poster below, and watch Santa Inc. on HBO Max on December 2nd.
