Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn are reuniting for a Bad Moms Christmas themed sequel. Following the recent news that STX were getting a male-centric spin-off with Bad Dads ready for the summer, Bad Moms Christmas is on the fast-track and will be released November 2017.

STX Chairman Adam Fogelson issued a statement and is confident that the Bad Moms Christmas will strike the right chord with audiences.

“This is a brand that has enormous goodwill all over the world, so expanding and extending the BAD MOMS franchise in an authentic and irreverent way has been a priority for our team. Jon and Scott have a truly hysterical story that was pure perfection. Mila, Kristen and Kathryn are excited to re-team, and we will move forward with A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS on a similar time table and in much the same way in which we produced the original.”

Made on a modest budget of $20 million, Bad Moms generated $180 million at the global box office and provided STX with their biggest hit to date. Comedy sequels rarely live up to their predecessors; we only have to look at recent duds like Ted 2 and Bad Santa 2 to see that recycling old jokes just doesn't cut it. To be fair, all sequels are susceptible to repeating themselves, but comedy franchises have a harder task second time around. When it works, we get a treat like 22 Jump Street when it doesn't we get the deeply misguided Zoolander 2.

Bad Moms writing/directing duo Jon Lucas and Scott Moore will resume their roles for the sequel with production due to start in the Spring. There's no word yet on who will be joining Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn for the festivities, but we should expect Jay Hernandez, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Christina Applegate to reprise their respective roles.
