This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

Sleeper hit Bad Moms is being turned into as franchise following its unprecedented box office success earlier this summer.

The naughty mothers of the title will return as early as 2017 with a Christmas-set sequel set to reunite original stars Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn.

There are no words on who will play the older generation but expect some big names to be announced over the coming months.

News of Bad Moms Christmas arrives soon after it was announced that spin-off Bad Dads would be released by STX Entertainment next July.

The distributor - who steered the original to an impressive £147 million - said it "...has chosen to focus on extending consumer passion for the Bad Moms brand with a series of film spin-offs, a reality television show, short form digital content, and a robust consumer products program.”

Seems we'll be being spoon-fed a lot of Bad Moms content over the coming years.

Writer/directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore will be back for Bad Moms Christmas but it's unknown whether Christina Applegate or Jada Pinkett-Smith will be back for more.
