tbd Santa Inc.: Season 1

Animated comedy series debuts December 2 on HBO Max

It may be a stop-motion animated holiday series in the style of your favorite Rankin/Bass classics, but Santa Inc is definitely for adults, not kids. The foul-mouthed workplace comedy (from Shrill's Alexandra Rushfield) finds Sarah Silverman voicing an elf who currently serves as a vice president at the North Pole but hopes someday to become the first female Santa. The current Santa is voiced by Seth Rogen while other voices come from Maria Bamford, Nicholas Braun, Craig Robinson, Gabourey Sidibe, and Leslie Grossman. All eight episodes stream today.
