Tubi continues to expand its adult animated programming, giving a green light to Breaking Bear, an adult animated comedy series from The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia director Julien Nitzberg, Creepshow producer Cartel Entertainment, and Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge’s To The Stars Media (Monsters of California).

Created by Nitzberg, Breaking Bear parodies the tropes of mobster dramas, comically combining elements of Yogi Bear with The Sopranos. It follows the escapades of three bear siblings who decide they have to start selling drugs in order to raise money and save their home after gas companies start fracking next to their cave. The bears soon enlist other forest animals in a scheme that will pit them against oil companies, The Russian Mafia, local Hell’s Angels and polar bears who hate anything that isn’t white.

“When The Cartel pitched a series with cartoon animals as mobsters, I knew it was an offer I couldn’t refuse,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “This is the perfect project to expand our adult animation offering after the stellar success of The Freak Brothers, cementing Tubi as a destination for adult humor.”

The Freak Brothers, based on Gilbert Shelton’s cult classic underground comic, features a stellar voice casting including Tiffany Haddish, Woody Harrelson, John Goodman, Pete Davidson, Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, Andrea Savage, La La Anthony and Rapper ScHoolboy Q. It has been renewed for a second season for premiere this year.

Breaking Bear is executive produced by Tom DeLonge (Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker), Stan Spry (Creepshow, Day of the Dead), Jeff Holland (Creepshow, Day of the Dead), Bradford Bricken (Twelve Forever), and Eric Woods (Creepshow, Harland Manor). Nitzberg also serves as an executive producer and showrunner.

New TV Series To Be Produced with Blink-182 Founding Member Tom DeLonge & To The Stars Media, Inc.‍

Encinitas, CA – (June 10, 2022) - Fresh off the success of Academy Award nominated Dune, Legendary Television has landed the rights to The Stars Media’s ‘Sekret Machines’ UFO novels for television series adaptation, including Sekret Machines: Chasing Shadows and Sekret Machines: A Fire Within,  written by NY Times bestselling author A.J. Hartley and founding member of Blink-182 Tom DeLonge.  

Dan Farah (Ready Player One, The Shannara Chronicles), who brought the project to Legendary, and DeLonge, will executive produce the adaptation of the popular books, which include Sekret Machines: Chasing Shadows and its sequel Sekret Machines: A Fire Within. 

Farah will executive produce, through his Farah Films banner, alongside DeLonge, who will executive produce through his To The Stars Media, which also published and owns the books. Andrew Farah will co-executive produce under the Farah Films banner. The studio and producers plan to mount a grounded, globally appealing, and elevated limited thriller series based on the books.

The announcement of the new series is expected to boost support for To The Stars Media's parent company To The Stars Inc.'s Regulation A capital raise campaign, which is already benefiting from recent global attention to official military footage depicting encounters with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, an academic term for UFOs, that was released by To The Stars and highlighted in recent Congressional hearings.

This latest capital raise is being launched concurrently with the drop of the highly anticipated, first-look trailer of feature film Monsters of California, representing DeLonge’s directorial debut and set to begin screening for distributors this month. Produced in conjunction with Cartel Pictures, the full-length feature is a modern coming-of-age sci-fi adventure that touches on real events and unsolved mysteries.  

The science fiction thriller novels are based on actual events and were written with guidance from former U.S. Government officials who have held senior-level positions within the Department of Defense, including intelligence officers, physicists, aerospace engineers, and four-star generals, in order to keep the truth on course while revealing fascinating secrets surrounding the true, well-documented events of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon.  

“The Sekret Machines franchise is the result of everything I have learned, and continue to learn, about the U.S. governments’ real interactions with UFOs and other extraterrestrial matters. Dan Farah, who has a proven track record of helping adapt IP with blockbuster potential, and Legendary Entertainment, who know how to elevate thrilling, visionary works and bring them to life. The Sekret Machines books are in the best hands possible,” said Tom DeLonge.

“Tom and AJ’s Sekret Machines books deliver an extremely original, gripping, epic, and sprawling thriller set around the long-standing global mystery involving UFOs, a topic I’ve been fascinated with since watching Close Encounters as a kid. I couldn’t put the books down and can’t wait to bring the story to the screen,” said Dan Farah.

The project comes on the heels of the Pentagon revealing the existence of a classified UFO program and the recent historic congressional hearing, in which Pentagon officials testified publicly about UAPs and lawmakers pledged to bring transparency to the investigation of unexplained reports by military pilots and others.

Legendary TV head Chris Albrecht, Carmi Zlotnik, and Jennifer Breslow will oversee the project for Legendary. DeLonge and To The Stars Media’s rights to the novels were represented by APA. Farah Films was represented by Greenberg Glusker.

‍Global Recognition of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Video Footage Fuels Momentum

Encinitas, CA – (May 25, 2022) – Investor momentum is building for To the Stars Inc.’s Reg A crowdfunding campaign, fueled by a recent uptick in global attention to videos of official military footage depicting encounters with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) given to To The Stars and highlighted in last week’s government hearings.

Founded in 2017 by platinum-selling musician Tom DeLonge from Blink-182/Angels & Airwaves, former senior CIA officer Jim Semivan, and physicist Dr Hal Puthoff, To The Stars is raising up to $30 million for the globally diversified media and entertainment company to support its collaboration between academia, industry, and pop culture to advance society’s imagination, curiosity and understanding of scientific phenomena and other mysteries of the universe. Proceeds will support future To The Stars’ entertainment initiatives, including content across music, tv, film, books, and merchandise through its wholly owned subsidiary To The Stars Media Inc.

Major media coverage of the video footage in outlets such as ABC-News and NBC-News highlighted the UAP encounters and reported on last week’s government hearings on the subject as breaking news. The videos were originally cleared and approved for public release to create credibility around a notoriously convoluted and uncredible topic, and the New York Times independently verified and covered the story in a front-page expose published in conjunction with research for To The Stars’ book series, Sekret Machines. High-level briefings conducted by its team members are also documented in HISTORY’s Unidentified and led to the official creation of the U.S. Government UAP Task Force to investigate the phenomena.

"The talks between the military and Congress are indeed heartening. The more Congress is able to learn about UAPs and its various aspects, the more it will begin to realize the overall complexity of this subject. This is not just a "nuts and bolts" issue," said Semivan.

To The Stars has forged relationships with experts at the highest levels of government, academia and science who have first-hand publicly available knowledge and unreleased government report. The company’s scientific advisory board is comprised of individuals from prestigious government agencies and academic institutions who lend vast knowledge and experience in support of its mission to offer informed storytelling where the line between science and science fiction is often blurred.
