Tubi's Breaking Bear Premieres July 24; Adult Swim Greenlights Heist Brothers, Announces Robot Chicken Specials

Tubi has announced the premiere date and trailer for Breaking Bear. The series premieres Friday, July 24 on Tubi.

A family of bears run a drug empire to raise money to save their forest from frackers and an endless array of psychotic enemies. Starring an all-star cast of voices: Brendan Fraser, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Annie Murphy, Josh Gad, Elizabeth Hurley, Chris Parnell, Chris Diamantopoulos, Harland Williams, Tony Plana and Jackie Beat. The series was originally slated for March before being pushed to summer.

We caught up with the cast at New York Comic Con last fall.

Adult Swim has greenlit Heist Brothers, a new high-octane animated action comedy from Emmy(R) Award-winning creator Genndy Tartakovsky. The visionary behind groundbreaking series including Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Sym-Bionic Titan, and Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, Tartakovsky originally pitched Heist Brothers live onstage to Adult Swim President Michael Ouweleen during the network's Studio Focus Panel in 2024. The presentation gave attendees a rare opportunity to witness firsthand the process of a creator unveiling a brand-new series concept in real time. Announced as in development as Heist_Safari at last year's Annecy, that pitch has now come to fruition with Heist Brothers officially receiving a full-season order for Adult Swim.

Adult Swim's Emmy(R) Award-winning stop motion comedy series Robot Chicken, from co creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, will return with two new specials - this time turning the spotlight on its own network. The fan favorite parody series will celebrate Adult Swim's 25 year milestone with Robot Chicken Adult Swim Special, premiering Sunday, August 30 ET/PT on Adult Swim. Available to stream the next day on HBO Max, the special skewers the network's legacy with the show's signature rapid fire sketches, taking on some of Adult Swim's most iconic series, characters, and moments.

Additionally, the celebrated stop motion series is also in production on a second special, this one setting its sights on Cartoon Network's legendary series and characters. The special will commemorate Cartoon Networks' 35th anniversary with a debut planned for 2027.

Tubi's Breaking Bear Premieres March 2026; NBC's Stumble Trailer

Tubi, Fox Corporation's ad-supported streaming service, took center stage on Saturday October 11, at New York Comic Con with an exclusive panel for its upcoming adult animated comedy series Breaking Bear - a wildly original new series that hilariously parodies mobster dramas, blending the world of Yogi Bear with The Sopranos in the most comically way imaginable.

As they spiral deeper into the criminal abyss, they face off against biker gangs, an egomaniacal news anchor, and their own spectacular talent for self-sabotage.

Nexstar Media Group to Acquire The CW Network; Tubi Orders Breaking Bear, New Animated Comedy

Nexstar Media Group, Inc. announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 75 percent ownership interest in The CW Network. Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global, the current co-owners of The CW, will each retain a 12.5 percent ownership interest in The CW and will continue to produce original, scripted content for the Network. Nexstar, together with its partner stations, is the nation's largest local television broadcasting company and the largest CW affiliate group with 37 CW and CW Plus affiliates, including affiliates in five of the top ten DMAs, accounting for 32 percent of the Network's national reach. The proposed transaction is expected to create value for Nexstar shareholders by solidifying the Company's revenue opportunities as the largest CW affiliate, diversifying its content outside of news, increasing its exposure to the national advertising market, establishing it as a participant in advertising video-on-demand services and improving The CW ratings, revenue, and profitability, by prioritizing programing for the Network's broadcast audience. Mark Pedowitz will continue to serve as The CW's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, with responsibility for day-to-day operations. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter.

Tubi (www.tubi.tv) announced that it has greenlit the adult animated series, Breaking Bear. Created by Julien Nitzberg (The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia) and produced by Cartel Entertainment (Creepshow, Twelve Forever and Day of the Dead) and Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Media (Monsters of California, Unidentified), Breaking Bear parodies the tropes of mobster dramas, comically combining elements of Yogi Bear with 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.
