Star-Studded Adult Animated Comedy “Breaking Bear” Headed to Tubi in March 2026

Fox Corporation’s ad-supported streaming service, took center stage at New York Comic Con with an exclusive panel for its new adult animated comedy series, “Breaking Bear.” The wildly original series, which hilariously parodies mobster dramas, has been described as blending the world of Yogi Bear with The Sopranos.

Breaking Bear is scheduled to stream exclusively on Tubi starting in March 2026.

Plot Details and Character Breakdown

“Breaking Bear” follows a dysfunctional family of bears who dive into a life of crime to stop frackers, mobsters, and a “psychotic wolf pack” from destroying their home. As they spiral deeper into the criminal abyss, they face 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.
