Social media sensation and comedic actor King Bach (Andrew Bachelor) is bringing his signature energy to the big screen once again, joining the cast of the highly anticipated sequel Violent Night 2. The follow-up to 2022’s surprise holiday hit is currently in production, and with King Bach on board, fans can expect even more outrageous action and irreverent humor.
Violent Night, starring David Harbour as a gritty, battle-hardened Santa Claus, turned heads with its unique blend of holiday cheer and brutal combat. The original film followed Santa as he fought off mercenaries to save a family on Christmas Eve, earning cult status for its over-the-top violence and dark comedy.
The sequel promises to up the ante, expanding the universe and introducing new characters—including King Bach’s mysterious role, which is being kept under wraps for now. Whether he’s a villain, sidekick, or comic relief, his presence is sure to add a fresh dynamic to the film’s chaotic holiday spirit.
King Bach rose to fame through Vine and YouTube, quickly transitioning into mainstream film and television with roles in Greenland, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and The Babysitter. His comedic timing and physicality make him a natural fit for the Violent Night universe, which thrives on outrageous scenarios and fast-paced action.
He joins returning star David Harbour, along with a growing ensemble of new faces that promise to make Violent Night 2 even more explosive than its predecessor.
While plot details remain tightly guarded, early reports suggest the sequel will delve deeper into Santa’s mythos, introduce new holiday-themed villains, and expand the action to even more outrageous set pieces. With King Bach’s addition, the film is poised to deliver a blend of laughs, thrills, and yuletide mayhem.
Violent Night 2 is currently slated for a holiday 2025 release, just in time to spice up the season with a little blood, brawls, and Bach. Stay tuned—this sleigh ride is about to get wild.
