Tubi 2025-2026 Programming Slate
The all new adult animated comedy, BREAKING BEAR is a fur-flying, law-breaking, forest-saving rampage following a dysfunctional family of bears who go full criminal to stop frackers, mobsters, and a psychotic wolf pack from destroying their home. 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. OscarⓇ Winner  Brendan Fraser (The Whale), EMMYⓇ Winner Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), EMMYⓇ Winner Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek) with Elizabeth Hurley (The Royals) and TonyⓇ Nominee Josh Gad (Frozen) will lend their voices to the series created by Julien Nitzberg (The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia) and produced by Evoke Entertainment (Creepshow, Twelve Forever, and Day of the Dead) and Tom DeLonge’s To The Stars Media (Monsters of California, Unidentified). 

Tubi has renewed the Channel 4 hit comedy BIG MOOD starring Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) who earned a BAFTA nomination for her performance and Lydia West (It’s A Sin). It’s been a year since Maggie and Eddie last saw each other, without any contact between the best friends. When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn’t alone – Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney. Can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie’s new life? Or will Maggie lose Eddie forever? Written and created by Camilla Whitehill, it will again be directed by Rebecca Asher. Executive Producers are Lotte Beasley Mestriner, Laurence Bowen and Chris Carey for Dancing Ledge Productions and Camilla Whitehill. Tubi will co-produce with Channel 4 and Fremantle’s Dancing Ledge Productions.

After breaking hearts and Tubi viewership records during the 2024 Holiday Season, Tubi has not only wrapped production on the highly anticipated SIDELINED 2: INTERCEPTED starring Noah Beck, Siena Agudong and Charlie Gillespie (Julie and the Phantoms), with James Van Der Beek (Pose) and Drew Ray Tanner (Riverdale) reprising their roles, but it has greenlit three all-new Young Adult Tubi Original Films. 

HIVE, starring Xochitl Gomez (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) is a real-time, socially conscious horror-thriller about a strict, anxious teenager (Gomez) who loses the child she’s babysitting and must brave a sinister force hiding in plain sight among the children in the playground. As her world unravels and her grip on reality starts to slip, she must outwit a world where nothing is as it seems, to make it out alive. The film is produced by Blue Ice Pictures, alongside Nick Scully, Adam Friedlander and Darren Cameron. Lance Samuels and Samantha Levine serve as Executive Producers. Felipe Vargas has written and will direct the full length feature based on his short of the same title.

Chase Hudson (Downfalls High) also known professionally as Huddy, stars in HOW TO LOSE A POPULARITY CONTEST, which was featured as one of 2024’s The Love List “Best Unproduced Romance Scripts,” written by Kaitlin Reilly and Dorian Keyes. HOW TO LOSE A POPULARITY CONTEST is a sharp, flirty high school rom-com about a bad boy and a type-A overachiever teaming up to win student body president – and maybe each other. The film is executive produced by Devorah Moos Hankin, with Lori Massini executive producing and Lindsay McAdam and Jason Fischer producing on behalf of Great Pacific Media, a Thunderbird company.

KISSING IS THE EASY PART, starring Asher Angel (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) is based on the popular Wattpad webnovel of the same name by Christine Duann to be adapted by Rebecca Webb. Straight-A overachiever Sean (Angel) makes a deal to tutor wild child Flora in exchange for a college recommendation letter to his dream school – but when sparks fly, school is the least of their problems. The film is produced by Wattpad WEBTOON Studios’ David Madden, Jason Goldberg and Aron Levitz. Asher Angel executive produces, as well as Blue Ice Pictures’ Lance Samuels and Samantha Levine.

As FOX prepares to carry the World Cup, Tubi will be launching the Original Docuseries, DESTINATION WORLD CUP 2026 (Working Title) which immerses fans into the lives of three players, on and off the pitch, during a critical period in their careers. Produced by 4.4.Forty Media and Headers & Volleys Entertainment, it will chart the highs and lows of life as an elite footballer through the eyes of the stars themselves, exploring what it takes to juggle the growing demands of an intense club schedule with the high-pressure commitments of international games in the build up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The three star international players from Argentina, Morocco and the United States will be announced soon, as will additional programming with Tubi continuing to provide compelling content at the intersection of sports and culture. 

“With fandom-focused new projects featuring incredible talent, from the star-studded cast of BREAKING BEAR to the meteoric rising stars of our YA titles, Tubi Originals are having a moment,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “We are committed to listening to our viewers and giving them more of what they love, like a sequel to our viral megahit SIDELINED, a second season of the very relevant comedy BIG MOOD, and more content built around cultural moments such as DESTINATION WORLD CUP 2026. We will continue to amplify our original stories that resonate with our young and diverse viewers.”

BRENDAN FRASER, SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, ANNIE MURPHY  ELIZABETH HURLEY AND JOSH GAD JOIN TUBI’S ADULT ANIMATED COMEDY “BREAKING BEAR”

Wildly Original Series to be Executive Produced by

blink-182 Frontman Tom DeLonge and Evoke Entertainment

SAN FRANCISCO, May 8, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced it has foraged and found its series regulars – OscarⓇ Winner  Brendan Fraser (The Whale), EMMYⓇ Winner Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the 

Vampire Slayer), EMMYⓇ Winner Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek) with Elizabeth Hurley (The Royals) and TonyⓇ Nominee Josh Gad (Frozen) who will lend their voices to the adult animated series, BREAKING BEAR.

Created by Julien Nitzberg (The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia) and produced by Evoke 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 characters like Yogi Bear with series like The Sopranos. 

BREAKING BEAR is a fur-flying, law-breaking, forest-saving rampage following a dysfunctional family of bears who go full criminal to stop frackers, mobsters, and a psychotic wolf pack from destroying their home. 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.

• Fraser plays “Jer” – The oldest of the bear siblings, Jer fancies himself the brains of the operation.  Unfortunately, he’s not only wrong – he’s lazy, clueless and usually the one getting everyone into hot water.  If there is a wrong move to make, Jer has already made it.
  
• Gellar plays “Blair” – The middle sister and actual brains of the family.  Constantly overlooked, Blair’s the one who ends up cleaning up her brothers’ messes and keeping the family alive – whether they notice or not.
• Murphy plays  “Tawny” – A human, she’s a gorgeous local news anchor whose number one goal is getting ahead in her field to become the next big national newscaster. 
• Hurley plays  “Wolf Queen” – the fierce and unyielding guardian of the forest. She is locked in a bitter rivalry with the Bears, whose growing presence and destructive ways threaten the land she is sworn to protect, by any means necessary. 
• Gad plays “Alistair” –  The baby brother of the family, Alistar swings wildly from adorably anxious to full-on unhinged with zero warning.   Push him the wrong way, and this teddy bear turns terrifying.

“With Brendan, Sarah, Annie, Elizabeth and Josh, we have an incredible cast of series regulars,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. “BREAKING BEAR is our wild, no-holds-barred send-up of classic mob sagas—from Scarface to Goodfellas—as a dysfunctional crew of bears crash headfirst into the world of crime, all in a desperate bid to save their forest. It’s bold, it’s chaotic, and we’re here for every outrageous second.”

BREAKING BEAR is executive produced by Tom DeLonge (“Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker”), Stan Spry (Creepshow, Day of the Dead), and Jeff Holland (Creepshow, Day of the Dead).  Brendan Frasher, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Josh Gad are also executive producers with Julien Nitzberg, who also serves as showrunner.
