The Bad News Bears: The Animated Series

The Bad News Bears: The Animated Series is an American-Canadian-Philippine young adult animated comedy television series, which is based on the 1976 live-action film of the same name and serves as a continuation/sequel of the original film. It airs on Comedy Central, FOX, and streams on HBO Max, with new episodes coming every Friday. The show has one season so far, but it has an upcoming second season and a greenlit third season so far.

Premise
Taking place before, during and shortly after the events of the 1976 film, the animated series focuses on the Bears, a youth baseball team consisting of misfit children and teenagers and their middle-aged coach, Morris ButterMaker and their many adventures and misadventures. Many characters from the original appear in this show, aside from the Bears and ButterMaker, such as Mr. Whitewood, Toby's councilman father, but new characters exclusive to the series are introduced as well, aside from that, reimagined characters from the sequels, reboot and television series.

Characters
TBA

Production
The producers of the series wanted to capture the spirit of the original, so instead of making it kid-friendly, they had to make it suitable for a teenage/young adult audience by making the characters still cuss just like in the source material, however they put up a warning in the beginning of each episode that states:

"The following episode you are about to watch may contain racial, gender, sexual orientation-based and ethnic slurs that many people may deem offensive. Viewer discretion is advised."

Merchandise
Graphic novel adaptations of certain episode of the series have been planned out, along with free baseball cards included.
