MANILA, Philippines — Fans of Grizz, Panda and Ice Bear are in for not only one but two surprises.
The Emmy-nominated series “We Bare Bears” is getting a television movie and a spinoff series, Cartoon Network announced Friday.
“Grab your popcorn, ’cause the We Bare Bears movie is coming in 2020. AND the Baby Bears are getting their own spin-off show!!!” a post from Cartoon Network’s “We Bare Bears” official Facebook page read.
“We Bare Bears The Movie,” which is already in production, will follow the three brother bears in an unexpected mayhem because of their love for food trucks and internet fame.
Grizz, Panda and Ice Bear must go on a wild and dangerous adventure to escape a foe that threatens to tear them apart.
As the adult bears take on a new adventure in a full-length film, their adorable younger counterparts will be featured in a spin-off.
The spin-off is reportedly in development at Cartoon Network Studios, but its release date has yet to be announced.
Created by two-time Annie Award-winner Daniel Chong, “We Bare Bears” first premiered in 2015 and has since received numerous awards.
It has won the British Academy Children’s Awards hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), a Jury Award for Best TV Series at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival and several Annie Awards. (Editor: Mike Frialde)
