The Netflix special Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery (2022) serves as a chaotic and hilarious subversion of holiday television tropes. Directed by Laura Murphy and starring Will Arnett as the bumbling, hard-boiled Detective Terry Seattle, the special utilizes a unique improvisational format where celebrity guest stars must solve a scripted murder mystery without ever seeing a script. By combining the high stakes of a crime procedural with the unpredictable nature of improv, the film highlights the comedic chemistry between its leads and the inherent charm of "breaking character".
