“Our entire family is delighted for her,” Allen said.
Deadline reported of the series:
In the Disney+ series, from Last Man Standing creator Jack Burditt, who serves as showrunner, Scott Calvin (Allen) is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizing that he can’t be Santa forever. He’s suddenly starting to lose his Santa magic, and more importantly, he’s got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the North Pole. With a lot of elves, children, and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the pole.
Kane appears as Cal, Scott Calvin’s oldest son, while Redd will play Grace, the daughter of game inventor Simon Choksi.
