WHERE THE BEARS ARE is a comedy mystery web series that follows three gay, bear roommates sharing a house in Silverlake, who stumble on to a murder mystery. It’s the “Golden Girls” meets “Murder She Wrote” with big gay hairy men.

Season 1 of the web series has had over 3 Million views and has won several awards for best web series. The show has also garnered a great deal of press, including Huffington Post, Out Magazine, and The Advocate.

You can view the series at XXXXX.

Season 2 will be filmed mainly over weekends in February and March. All actors should have facial hair or be willing to grow facial hair. Actors should be comfortable playing gay characters, showing affection with men and be comfortable shirtless.

Sounds like the series is going well. I just hope it goes well enough so they can pay their bears, and not just feed them.
