From the mind of Jared Keeso comes I KILL THE BEAR, a new, six-part, Crave Original comedy series which drops with two episodes weekly, beginning Friday, Nov. 6.

I KILL THE BEAR is a comedy about a family of bear wranglers for film sets, and why, after 100 years, they’ve decided to make this film their last. The Thibaults – Keeso, St-Pierre, Beauchesne, and Torrens – are a fourth-generation Franco-Ontarian family who make their living wrangling bears on film sets. They’re incredibly kind, well-intentioned people who have spent most of their lives isolated in the bush and suddenly find themselves trying to navigate a Hollywood world they don’t completely understand.

Guest stars include: Andrew Antsanen, Jann Arden, Brent Butt, Michala Brasseur, Jesse Camacho, Kim Coates, Art D’Ecco, Tricia Helfer, Emma Hunter, Kim Cloutier, Ryan McDonell, Ben Mulroney, Michelle Mylett, Matt Paradis, Jay Onrait, Maxim Roy, Melanie Scrofano, Rachel Sellan, Hannah Simone, George Stroumboulopoulos, and more.
