We Bare Bears Gets TV Movie & Spin-Off Series

Cartoon Network’s Emmy-nominated series We Bare Bears, written by Daniel Chong, is being adapted for a new TV movie and spin-off series.

We Bare Bears The Movie is currently in production, and the spin-off series—which will focus on the series’ baby bear characters—is in development at Cartoon Network Studios. Chong is on board as executive producer for both projects.

In the movie, Grizz, Panda and Ice Bear go on a wild and dangerous adventure to escape a foe that threatens to tear their friendship apart. It is slated for a 2020 release. The baby bears, who appeared in several episodes of the series, will star in the untitled spin-off series that will explore fresh and fun stories.

We Bare Bears premiered in 2015 and follows three best friends—Grizz (voiced by Eric Edelstein), Panda (voiced by Bobby Moynihan) and Ice Bear (voiced by Demetri Martin)—who lean on each other and find humor in their everyday lives. Since its debut, the series has earned numerous awards, including a BAFTA Children’s Award, a Jury Award for Best TV Series at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and several Annie Awards.
