“Everyone is full of joy and cheer, except one miserable man — Ebenezer Scrooge,” the Season 2 description reads. “What happened to make him so mean? Tune in to Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol to hear all about Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and the Ghosts who show Scrooge the true spirit of Christmas.”

Season 2 takes a more festive approach with A Christmas Carol, although fans can still expect some ghostly visitors and a foreboding warning about a terrifying possible future if Scrooge can’t change his ways.

In a video teaser, Morrison is seen seated in an overstuffed chair, surrounded by holiday decorations and reading from a large book that sits in his lap.

“Bah humbug,” he reads.
