The Freak Brothers: Tubi Announces Long-Awaited Premiere Of Second Season

Tubi announced today the second season of THE FREAK BROTHERS, its first-ever original animated series, is set to premiere this summer with the first four episodes available on June 25th, and the back four episodes coming to fans for another bingeable viewing experience  on September 24. THE FREAK BROTHERS, based on Gilbert Shelton’s cult classic underground comic series, will celebrate its 55th anniversary this year and the show returns with its all-star voice cast — Woody Harrelson, John Goodman, Pete Davidson, Tiffany Haddish, Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, Andrea Savage, La La Anthony and ScHoolboy Q. Joining this season with a special guest appearance is Joe Sikora, who will play “Louis” a calm but passionate proprietor of a local fried chicken restaurant inspired by Gus Fring in Breaking Bad. The series is produced by WTG Enterprises and distributed by global content leader Lionsgate

THE FREAK BROTHERS chronicles the escapades of a trio of stoner anti-establishment characters and their smartass cat who wake up from a 50-year nap after smoking a magical strain of weed in 1969, and must adjust to life with a new family in present-day San Francisco. In the second season, the Freaks and Kitty’s Mary Jane-fueled misadventures will take them from their high school reunion to matching wits with Mark Zuckerberg, settling old scores with Mitch McConnell, and battling Seth Rogen in a Pot Brownie Bake-Off contest. .

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 comics 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.” Pure Imagination Studio, the studio behind “The Simpsons: Brick Like Me,” handled the animation for both Season One and Two.

THE FREAK BROTHERS is executive produced by Courtney Solomon (“AFTER,” “Mr. Church,” “Cake”) and Mark Canton (STARZ and Lionsgate Television’s “Power” Universe, “300,” “Den of Thieves”), along with award-winning showrunners 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.
