Regina Hall has joined the cast of Naughty, the upcoming holiday comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Peter Dinklage.

Olivia Wilde is directing the Universal Pictures film, which is scheduled for release on November 5, 2027.

Aniston plays Mallory, a woman fighting for custody who needs an unlikely character witness: Santa Claus himself, played by Dinklage. Hall’s role has not yet been disclosed.

The casting adds proven comedy firepower. Hall has headlined ensemble comedies for two decades, while the Aniston-Dinklage pairing promises an offbeat holiday dynamic.

Wilde, coming off her own directing projects, gives the film a distinctive authorial stamp for a studio holiday release.

Holiday comedies remain one of Hollywood’s most reliable genres, and Universal is betting the star trio can cut through a crowded 2027 slate. Casting continues as production ramps up, with the studio aiming to lock the remaining ensemble before the end of the year.

Production details and a first trailer are expected in the coming months.
