Brendan Fraser, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Annie Murphy, Elizabeth Hurley and Josh Gad Join Tubi's Animated Series BREAKING BEAR — GeekTyrant
Actors Brendan Fraser ( The Whale ), Sarah Michelle Gellar ( Buffy the Vampire Slayer ), Annie Murphy ( Schitt's Creek ), Elizabeth Hurley ( The Royals ) and Josh Gad ( Frozen ) will lead the voice cast for Tubi's new adult animated series Breaking Bear .
The series parodies the tropes of mobster dramas, comically combining elements of characters like Yogi Bear with series like The Sopranos . It hails from Julien Nitzberg ( The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia ), Evoke Entertainment ( Creepshow, Twelve Forever, Day of the Dead ) and Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Media ( Monsters of California, Unidentified ).
Created by Nitzberg, Breaking Bear is billed as '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 Alistar. 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.

When Is ‘A Minecraft Movie' Coming To Streaming On Max?
Warner Bros. Discovery announced in May that Jack Black and Jason Momoa's A Minecraft Movie would begin streaming on Max in June. However, we're a week and a half into June and A Minecraft Movie still has no release date on the Max streaming service, which will renamed HBO Max this summer. News broke on May 21 that A Minecraft Movie was part Max's new lineup of programming in June. The move was surprising given the expediency of the release coming to the streaming service, considering the film opened in theaters on April 4 and made its debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on May 13. In Warner Bros. Discovery's May announcement of A Minecraft Movie's debut on the service, the press release only said the movie was 'coming soon.' A Minecraft Movie is still playing in 346 North American theaters. To date, the film has earned $423.6 million domestically and nearly $527.6 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $951.2 million against a $150 million budget, according to The Numbers. A Minecraft Movie attracted unique attention early in the film's run thanks to the film's "Chicken Jockey" scene and the havoc that erupted during screenings. Piglin characters in "A Minecraft Movie." Warner Bros. Pictures With no new news from Warner Bros. Discovery about A Minecraft Movie about the release of the film on Max, the streaming tracker When to Stream is projecting a potential landing date for the film on the platform. When to Stream, which is typically accurate with its PVOD and streaming service reports, previously forecasted June 20 arrival for A Minecraft Movie on Max since that is the only available date that the service doesn't have a big title scheduled for release. In recent reports, When to Stream is sticking with its projection. The most recent mention of A Minecraft Movie's pending release on Max from Warner Bros. Discovery came in a Tuesday press release, where the title was mentioned among others that will be available to 12 new countries when the platform expands its global footprint in July. Rated PG, A Minecraft Movie follows four misfits (Jason Momoa, Sebastian Hansen, Danielle Brooks and Emma Meyers) who are sucked into a portal in a mine that brings them to the Overworld, where anything the mind imagines can be built with blocks. It's in the Overworld where the group encounters a smattering of block-shaped creatures and the human, Steve (Jack Black), who is being held by a nefarious, pig-like group known as the Piglins. Directed by Jared Hess, A Minecraft Movie also stars Jennifer Coolidge and the voices of Hess, Rachel House, Jemaine Clement, Bret McKenzie and Matt Berry. A Minecraft Movie, of course, is based on the blockbuster Mojang Studios video game Minecraft.
