Showrun by Jack Burditt, directed by Jason Winer, and based on The Santa Clause by Leo Benvenuti and Steve Rudnick, The Santa Clauses is a sequel to 2006’s The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause and features returning stars Allen, Elizabeth Mitchell, Eric Lloyd, and David Krumholtz.
The Santa Clauses Chapter 5 Recap
20 years after The Santa Clause 2, fans of the festive franchise finally got closure for North Pole elf Bernard, who returned to the spotlight.
After being absent from The Santa Clause 3, it was revealed that Bernard left the North Pole to be with a partner, saying: “I met someone. A human. So I made the jump and gave up eternal youth.”
As it turns out, the human he gave up eternity for was Oscar-winner Dame Vanessa Redgrave.
Who Plays Bernard in The Santa Clauses? – Meet David Krumholtz
Bernard is played by returning actor David Krumholtz in Disney Plus’ The Santa Clauses, who also played Bernard in The Santa Clause and The Santa Clause 2.
The actor’s 20-year age difference is then perfectly explained by the fact Bernard gave up eternal youth.
In addition to The Santa Clause franchise, Krumholtz is also known for his comedy role in 1999’s 10 Things I Hate About You and for portraying genius Charlie in the show Numb3rs.
