How Naughty puts a wild spin on a custody battle
Written by Jimmy Warden, Naughty has been described as Bridesmaids in the North Pole by sources. The holiday comedy movie follows a mother whose only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting trash-bag ex is to find Santa Claus and convince him to testify in her divorce hearing.
In the movie, Aniston plays Mallory, while Dinklage portrays Santa Claus. Moreover, Wonders and Hall play Mallory’s best friends, while Barinholtz portrays her “trash-bag ex-boyfriend.” No further casting details have been announced.
Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara are set to produce the movie through their production company LuckyChap Entertainment. Wilde and Warden will also serve as producers. The project will be overseen by Sara Scott and Jacqueline Garell.
Naughty is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 5, 2027.
