Jennifer Aniston and Peter Dinklage to Star in Olivia Wilde’s Santa Claus Comedy ‘Naughty’

Jennifer Aniston is set to star in Olivia Wilde’s Universal comedy “Naughty,” playing a single mom named Mallory — whose “trash-bag ex” is Santa Claus.

Peter Dinklage takes on the role as the king of Christmas.

Wilde — fresh off the success of her latest directorial effort “The Invite” — directs “Naughty,” which centers on Mallory, 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.”

Jimmy Warden (“Cocaine Bear,” “Borderline”) wrote the screenplay and original spec script. LuckyChap, Wilde and Warden will produce.

Universal has dated the movie for theatrical release on Nov. 5, 2027. Deadline first reported the casting update.
