TORONTO — Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and mixed martial arts star Georges St-Pierre are among the stars of Jared Keeso’s upcoming TV comedy.

Crave says the “Rockstar” singer and former UFC champion are part of an ensemble for “I Kill the Bear,” a six-part half-hour series about a family that wrangles bears for film productions. 

Keeso created, writes and stars alongside a stacked cast that includes his old “19-2” co-star Adrian Holmes, Kristin Kreuk of “Smallville” fame, and Jonathan Torrens of “Mr. D” and “Trailer Park Boys.”

Keeso, who also spearheaded Crave hits “Letterkenny” and “Shoresy,” also enlists actors from those projects including Eliana Jones, Frederick Roy, and Dylan Playfair.

Production is underway in Sudbury, Ont.

“I Kill the Bear” is set to premiere on Crave in 2026.
