Tom DeLonge and Tubi's Animated Series BREAKING BEAR Is Yogi Bear Meets THE SOPRANOS

Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge is executive producing a new animated series for Tubi titled Breaking Bear. The series was created by Julien Nitzberg (The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia), it parodies mob dramas, and it’s a combination of Yogi Bear and The Sopranos.

Breaking Bear follows the “escapades of three bear siblings who decide they have to start selling drugs in order to raise money and save their home after gas companies start fracking next to their cave. The bears soon enlist other forest animals in a scheme that will pit them against oil companies, The Russian Mafia, local Hell's Angels, and polar bears who hate anything that isn't white.”

Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi, said in a statement: "When The Cartel pitched a series with cartoon animals as mobsters, I knew it was an offer I couldn't refuse. This is the perfect project to expand our adult animation offering after the stellar success of The Freak Brothers, cementing Tubi as a destination for adult humor."

This show sounds like it could be a wild and fun show! Breaking Bear is also being produced by Stan Spry (Creepshow, Day of the Dead), Jeff Holland (Creepshow, Day of the Dead), Bradford Bricken (Twelve Forever), and Eric Woods (Creepshow, Harland Manor). Julien Nitzberg also serves as an executive producer and showrunner.
