Jack Black as Satan in the new movie Dear Santa.

Jack Black Plays Satan In New Holiday Comedy, “Dear Santa”

When you think of the holidays, Satan may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, the two are being melded together in a new holiday comedy, Dear Santa.


The film follows a young boy who mails a letter to Santa, but accidentally misspells it as Satan on his letter. The result is summoning the devil (played by Jack Black) who in turn wreaks havoc on the holidays. It’s definitely a different type of holiday movie, but judging from the trailer, it’s got everything you’d be expecting, plus Post Malone.


The film was directed by Bobby Farrelly and written by Ricky Blitt and Peter Farrelly. This marks the first collaboration for the Farrelly Brothers - who brought us Dumb and Dumber, There’s Something About Mary, and Shallow Hal (which also starred Jack Black) - since 2014’s Dumb and Dumber To. So this is definitely a welcome return for comedy fans!


Rounding out the cast is Keegan-Michael Key, Brianne Howey, Hayes MacArthur, Post Malone, P.J. Byrne, Jaden Carson Baker, and Kai Cech.
