Deck the halls and all that sh*te – Bad Santa 2 is happening.

Billy Bob Thornton – last seen in the first series of Fargo – will return as Willie Soke, the miserable titular character.

“We’ve been waiting far too long to see Billy Bob’s Willie Soke mess with the holiday season in his own unique way,” said Zanne Devine of Miramax.

The original film was released in 2003, grossing $60m from a budget of just $23m.

It is expected to be released in December 2016.
