Inside the Chaos and Cameos of Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery

[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery. Do not read until after watching!] “We wanted the whole thing to feel like a surprise party, where just one thing after another happens,” showrunner Krister Johnson says about the newly released Who Killed Santa?

Reindeer or not, Santa wasn’t ready for this slay in the first teaser for Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Mystery. The improvised mystery series returns to Netflix December 15th.

The one-off holiday special co-stars Maya Rudolph and Jason Bateman as trainee detectives attempting to solve a ho-ho-homicide, with the same catch as Season 1: The guest stars don’t get a script, and have to improvise their way to the crime’s solution. The teaser shows Rudolph and Bateman undergoing the kinds of humiliation that will be familiar from Season 1, including insults (“Well, if it isn’t the ghost of Christmas ass,”) and being forced to drink milk out of dog bowl.
