The Freak Brothers Animated Series Moving Ahead With Lionsgate
The latest effort to revive cult comic
The Freak Brothers as an animated series is moving ahead with Lionsgate on board and a star-studded cast that includes Woody Harrelson, John Coodman, Pete Davidson, and Tiffany Haddish. The series is based on
The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, a 1960s undergroudn comic created by Gilbert Shelton. The comic followed a trio of stoner brothers who get shunted from 1969 to 2020 after smoking a magical strain of marijuana. With 2020 now in the past, it changes the comedy a bit from a speculative, quasi-psychadelic future to a current day/recent-past story that will theoretically allow for a different kind of humor.
