HBO Max released the official trailer and key art forSanta Inc., a new original stop motion animated series that will bring the joy of Christmas next month, at least for adults who like cursing and sex jokes. StarringSeth RogenandSarah Silverman,Santa Inc.is the perfect adult series to enjoy the holidays, a time of the year where every release seems to be aimed at the younger audience.
The new trailer presents a brand new version of the North Pole, where Santa Claus is a powerful position passed to a white man each generation. However, the female elf Candy Smalls (Silverman) is ready to change the situation by doing whatever she takes to become the next Santa. That means befriending the current Santa (Rogen) and convincing everybody that she can be as sexist and self-entitled as all the other men in North Pole’s inner circle.
If the premise is not enough to grab your interest, the trailer also underlines how naughty the current Santa Claus is, as Father Christmas is quick to curse and urinate in public. Santa is also shown as one of the most influential people in the world, as the trailer jokes about how more American kids believe in the fictional figure than real things, like vaccines and the Holocaust.
