It looks like STX has lost their taste for “Bad Dads.” Back in October, the studio announced that following this summer’s sleeper success of “Bad Moms,” which has quietly earned nearly $180 million worldwide, they were pressing ahead with a spinoff that would focus on fathers, with a planned release date of July 14, 2017. Considering that’s seven months off and there’s still no word on a cast or director, it’s safe to say they’ve scrapped those plans, and wisely banked the future of the franchise on the women who made it happen in the first place.

STX has announced that next holiday season, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn will be reunited for “A Bad Moms Christmas.” Writer/directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore will be back behind the cameras for this effort in which the under-appreciated and over-burdened sisterhood must deal with the stresses of the most wonderful time of year as their own mothers visit for the holidays. Indeed, the new movie is being put together with the idea of growing the female ensemble and the plot sounds like it’ll have plenty of opportunity to do just that.
Everything is moving fast with this project, with “A Bad Moms Christmas” already slated to hit cinemas on November 3, 2017.
