Tubi announced the cast for the original animated series, The Freak Brothers and it includes many of your favorite stars.
The Freak Brothers includes the voices of Woody Harrelson, John Goodman, Tiffany Haddish, and Pete Davidson.
The new series will debut two episodes on Sunday, November 14th.
Season one will drop on Sundays, one every week, through the finale, Sunday, December 26. The eight-episode series chronicles the escapades of a trio of stoner anti-establishment characters and their 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 addition, The Freak Brothers stars Adam Devine and Blake Anderson, who are also executive producers, as well as Andrea Savage, La La Anthony and Rapper ScHoolboy Q. Devine and Anderson voice Chuck and Charlie, a couple of weed savants always looking for the next side hustle, with hearts of gold hidden beneath their unwashed exteriors. Savage voices Harper, a no-nonsense techie who undoubtedly wears the pants in her household. Anthony voices Gretchen, a social-advocate lawyer who is the more idealistic and compassionate younger sister of Harper. ScHoolboy Q voices an animated version of himself who finds himself surrounded by “The Freaks.”
