"The Santa Clauses" Season 2 will pit Tim Allen’s holly, jolly Scott Calvin against TV’s erstwhile Fizbo. "Modern Family‘s" Eric Stonestreet has joined the cast of the Disney+ sequel series, TVLine has learned.

The two-time Emmy winner will play Magnus Antas (aka the Mad Santa), who reigned during the 14th Century and is now returning to try and take down Tim Allen’s Scott Calvin and reclaim the North Pole.

Additionally, "The Mysterious Benedict Society‘s" Martha Kessler will guest-star as Magnus’ sidekick Olga, a surly, take-no-prisoners gnome who doesn’t understand “feelings” and “empathy.”
