EXCLUSIVE: Disney+ continues to expand the cast for its upcoming limited series The Santa Clause (working title), adding Tim Allen’s daughter Elizabeth Allen-Dick as a series regular, playing her dad’s on-screen daughter. She will appear opposite Allen, Elizabeth Mitchell and Kal Penn. Also joining The Santa Clause as series regulars are Austin Kane, Rupali Redd and Devin Bright.
In the Disney+ series, from Last Man Standing creator Jack Burditt, who serves as showrunner, Scott Calvin (Allen) is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizing that he can’t be Santa forever. He’s suddenly starting to lose his Santa magic, and more importantly, he’s got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the North Pole. With a lot of elves, children, and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the pole.

Allen-Dick makes her acting debut as Sandra, the youngest child of Scott Calvin (Allen) and Carol (Mitchell). Sandra is a bit rough and tumble, has a passionate sense of right and wrong, and a strong connection to animals, mostly because there are no humans her age at the North Pole, which makes her lonely.
“Our entire family is delighted for her,” said Allen.
Kane appears as Cal, the older son of Scott Calvin and his wife Caro. Cal lacks drive and focus, isn’t sure what he wants but knows it’s not at the North Pole, and appears ill-equipped to survive in either world, although that might be slowly changing.
Newcomer Redd will play Grace. Sweet, loving, and kind, Grace is angelic daughter of game inventor and product developer, Simon Choksi (Penn).
