The Santa Clause is currently the working title of the series, which promises to tell us about the events following the last film of the famous franchise. Scott Calvin (Tim Allen), who in the first chapter had replaced Santa Claus, is about to turn 65 and realizes that he cannot be Santa Claus forever: age begins to make itself felt and he is no longer able to take on his responsibilities as Santa Claus and, above all , has a family to think about.
