Tim Allen will put on the beard again for a Disney+ 'Santa Clause' series

The Disney+ series will re-team Allen with his Last Man Standing producer, executive producer and showrunner Kevin HenchJack Burditt, who backed Emmy winners like Frasier and 30 Rock, and the Emmy-nominated hit The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, is also producing.
