THE SECRETS OF CHRISTMAS: REVEALED to Air Across Tubi and FOX

Tubi ushers in the holiday season with two holiday films debuting on the platform next month. On Friday, Dec. 3, all-new Tubi Original MOST WANTED SANTA begins streaming. Then, on  Monday, Dec. 20, all-new family-friendly THE SECRETS OF CHRISTMAS: REVEALED premieres on both Tubi and FOX (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

Both originals come to Tubi as part of its special “Holiday Hits” programming, which includes nearly 500 titles such as “Jingle All the Way,” “The Nutcracker,” “Jingle All the Way 2” and “Black Nativity,” among several other titles.

In MOST WANTED SANTA, premiering Friday, Dec. 3, FBI Agent Harper Winslow (Denyce Lawton, “House of Payne,” “The Hot Zone: Anthrax“) teams up with Los Angeles Police Detective Carly Lopez (Teresa Castillo, “General Hospital”) to hunt the mysterious “Santa” who keeps stealing multi-million dollar works of art during the holiday season. Things get complicated when Harper realizes that her new friend and fellow art lover, handsome and wealthy Christopher North (Donnell Turner, “General Hospital”), has become her #1 suspect. MOST WANTED SANTA also stars Kate Watson (“Killer Advice”), Mark Lawson (“General Hospital”) and Carolyn Hennesy (“General Hospital”).

Premiering Monday, Dec. 20, THE SECRETS OF CHRISTMAS: REVEALED exposes earth shattering revelations of how Santa Claus pulls off the most magical day of the year, after a massive data breach results in the release of millions of secret documents revealing the confidential inner-workings and mysteries of Santa’s entire Christmas operation — from his hidden network of spying elves, to Mrs. Claus’ covert role in the organization, and evidence pointing to Santa’s own magical abilities. Christmas experts, contributors and enthusiasts examine the avalanche of data and share top-secret findings of their investigations. As each secret is unpacked, including “How do reindeers fly?” and “What’s the line between naughty and nice?,” a gripping audience play-along is provided, layering in pieces of information that all build up to a final reveal exposing the biggest secrets of Christmas.

MOST WANTED SANTA and THE SECRETS OF CHRISTMAS: REVEALED join other titles as part of Tubi’s special holiday programming available all month, which includes nearly 500 titles totaling nearly 600 hours of content. Viewers will be treated to holiday titles, including Tubi Original “A Chance for Christmas,” “Die Hard 2,” “Jingle All the Way,” “Jingle All the Way 2,” “Black Nativity,” “While You Were Sleeping,” “Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You,” “Saving Santa,” “Nothing Like the Holidays,” “Christmas Cupid,” “Holiday in Handcuffs,” “My Adventures with Santa,” “Charlie’s Christmas Wish,” “Black Christmas,” “He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special,” “The Happy Elf,” “Once Upon a Time at Christmas,” “Merry Wishmas,” “The Nutcracker,” “Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Christmas,” “A Baby for Christmas,” “The Christmas Cabin,” “A Very Country Christmas,” “Christmas Wedding,” “A Christmas in Vermont,” “Christmas Twister,” “A Cinderella Christmas,” “Christmas Lodge,” “A Merry Friggin’ Christmas,” “Saving Christmas” “Snowglobe” and “Noel.”

Savage voices Harper, a no-nonsense techie who undoubtedly wears the pants in her household. Anthony voices Gretchen, a social-advocate lawyer who is the more idealistic and compassionate younger sister of Harper. ScHoolboy Q voices an animated version of himself who finds himself surrounded by “The Freaks.”

“We can’t wait for Tubi viewers to freak out to THE FREAK BROTHERS, with its unforgettably irreverent comedy infused with heart, alongside an iconic ensemble voice cast and a stellar team of elite producers and writers,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “This comedy is 50 years in the making and we are thrilled to have it debut on Tubi as our first original animated comedy, marking a new step for Tubi as we expand our adult humor offerings.”

“As we continue our expansion into original animation, a cornerstone of the FOX brand, we’re thrilled Tubi is joining the party with its first original animated series,” said Michael Thorn, President of Entertainment, FOX Entertainment. “With its counterculture roots, anti-establishment comedic POV and, as Adam said, an all-star team of cast and producers, THE FREAK BROTHERS is the perfect complement to Animation Domination and provides the ideal opportunity to not only grow Tubi’s audience, but take the animation genre to the next level in AVOD. Stay tuned for more original Tubi animated content soon.”

“We’re pleased to partner with FOX and Tubi on a new paradigm for distributing original animation to our consumers,” said Lionsgate President of Worldwide Television Distribution Jim Packer.  “The timeless humor of ‘The Freak Brothers’ has resonated with audiences for years, and this edgy comedy gives it a fresh and inventive spin for a whole new generation of fans.”

THE FREAK BROTHERS is based on comic book legend Gilbert Shelton’s “The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.” Critiquing the Establishment, while satirizing counterculture at the same time, the comic sold more than 45 million copies in 16 languages and was hailed by The Comics Journal as “One of the 100 Greatest Comics of the Century.” Starburns Industries and Pure Imagination Studios, the studios behind “Rick & Morty” and “The Simpsons: Brick Like Me,” handled the animation.

THE FREAK BROTHERS is executive-produced by Courtney Solomon (“AFTER,” “Mr. Church,” Cake”) and Mark Canton (STARZ’s “POWER UNIVERSE,” “300,” “Den of Thieves”), along with award-winning producers Alan Cohen and Alan Freedland (“King of the Hill,” “American Dad”). Woody Harrelson, Tiffany Haddish, Pete Davidson, Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, Gilbert Shelton and Manfred Mroczkowski also serve as executive producers on the series.

THE FREAK BROTHERS’ theme song was created and performed by TDE recording artist Ray Vaughn. Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, the Grammy Award-winning producer and founder of TDE, one of the most notable music labels, produced the music for THE FREAK BROTHERS and is an executive producer on the series, along with Mike Concepcion.

THE FREAK BROTHERS will anchor Tubi’s expansion into adult animation on FOX Entertainment’s free streaming platform, joining nearly 7,000 comedy movies and TV series on the platform, ranging from stand-up specials featuring classics like “Def Comedy Jam” and Jim Gaffigan, to live-action and edgy comedy including “Let’s Be Real” and classics like “Weekend at Bernie’s” and “Grosse Pointe Blank” and adult animation like “The PJs” and Australian sensation “Regular Old Bogan,” which is exclusively on Tubi, and additional titles to be announced for November.
