Elizabeth Hurley & Brendan Fraser Reunite After 25 Years in Animated Adventure!
Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley Reunite for Adult Animated Series, Fans Eagerly Await Bedazzled Sequel
The iconic on-screen duo of Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley are back together again, this time in an adult animated TV series that promises to be a wild ride. The two stars reunited at New York Comic Con on Sunday, where they promoted their new show, Breaking Bear, which will soon be released on Fox's streaming service Tubi.
The noughties favorites have been teasing fans about a potential Bedazzled sequel for years, and it seems like Brendan is finally on board. In a 2022 interview, he gushed about Liz, saying "She's a delight. She's so funny, she's a friend, and I think that she's a talented, talented person with a lot more left in her to offer."
The chemistry between the two stars is undeniable, and it's clear why fans have been clamoring for a Bedazzled reboot for years. Brendan's career resurgence over the past three years has been nothing short of remarkable, thanks in part to his critically acclaimed performance in The Whale. Liz was spotted supporting him at screenings of the film, which marked his first Hollywood project in almost ten years.
Breaking Bear promises to be a hilarious and action-packed series, with Brendan voicing the eldest bear sibling Jer, while Sarah Michelle Gellar plays middle sister Blair and Josh Gad voices the baby brother Alistair. Elizabeth Hurley takes on the role of the villainous Wolf Queen, while Schitt's Creek star Annie Murphy joins the cast as local news anchor Tawny.
The show follows a dysfunctional family of bears who must band together to stop frackers, mobsters, and a psychotic wolf pack from destroying their home. With its unique blend of humor and heart, Breaking Bear is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
But what's really got fans talking is the possibility of a Bedazzled sequel. Brendan has been tight-lipped about the project, but Liz has been vocal about her desire for a reunion. In an interview with The Scholarly Note in 2022, she said "I think we've both grown and changed as actors, and I think we could bring something new and exciting to the table."
Brendan's decision to revisit Bedazzled is likely due in part to his renewed popularity following The Whale. He has been fielding offers left and right, with several major projects in the works, including Rental Family, where he plays an actor whose career is floundering, leading him to accept a gig as the stock American in a Tokyo rental family company.
He will also star alongside Andrew Scott in war film Pressure, playing Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, and board mystery thriller Assassination, which explores the JFK conspiracy opposite huge stars Jessica Chastain, Bryan Cranston, and Al Pacino.
Meanwhile, Liz has been keeping busy with various TV roles, including The Royals and Gossip Girl, as well as her modeling jobs, beachwear line, and high-profile relationships. Her most recent romance with country star Billy Ray Cyrus sent shockwaves through the celebrity circuit, but it seems like she's moved on to bigger things.
Breaking Bear is currently in post-production, with a release date yet to be confirmed. Fans are eagerly awaiting news about the show's premiere, and whether or not a Bedazzled sequel will finally come to fruition. One thing's for sure - Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley's reunion is something to get excited about!
