Former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge will continue to explore his passion for the paranormal in Strange Times, an upcoming TBS series based on his 2015 graphic novel of the same name. The musician will executive produce the project with writer Aaron Karo, Strike Entertainment’s Russell Binder and the Cartel’s Stan Spry and Jeff Holland.
Strange Times focuses on five teenage skateboarders who solve mysteries while outrunning Deep State government agents. “My love for all things paranormal and skateboarding are sometimes only superseded by my love for offensive humor,” DeLonge said in a statement.

TBS has put in development Strange Times, based on Tom DeLonge’s graphic novel and book series, as a potential adult animated series, with DeLonge set to executive produce.
Written by Aaron Karo (Aaron Karo: The Rest Is History), Strange Times is about five dirty teenage skateboarders who solve paranormal mysteries while being chased by Deep State government agents. In the spirit of speaking truth to power and offending everyone equally, the potential series is a love letter to punk rock culture and a middle finger to everybody else.

Former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge left the hugely successful band in 2015 in part to explore other opportunities, including his interest in aliens and the paranormal. His passion resulted in the acclaimed graphic novel, “Strange Times,” which is now being turned into a series for TBS.
The series, which Variety can exclusively announce is being put into development, will be written and executive produced by Aaron Karo. DeLonge, The Cartel’s Stan Spry and Jeff Holland and Strike Entertainment’s Russell Binder will serve as executive producers.
DeLonge, who played guitar in Blink and fronted his own band, Angels and Airwaves, spoke with Variety about the new series and his long-term plans for “Strange Times.”
Did you always see “Strange Times” as having crossover potential into other mediums?
Tom DeLonge: Yes, absolutely. This is a dream I’ve had for over 10 years and it’s finally a reality. All the stories...

Strange Times, a paranormal series from Blink-182's Tom DeLonge, is in development at TBS.
While the pop culture public knows Tom DeLonge as a contemporary rock star co-founder of Blink-182 and later as the vocalist for modern post-punk supergroup Angels & Aiwaves, it appears that he’ll soon trade his duties onstage for one behind the scenes of a television series adaptation of his recent turn as a fiction author with franchise Strange Times.
Strange Times is now in development over at TBS as a television series. The project – following the supernatural exploits of a group of young skateboarders – will adapt the franchise of novels and graphic novels by DeLonge, notably represented by the 2015 graphic novel, Strange Times: The Curse of Superstition Mountain, and Strange Times: The Ghost in the Girl, the October 2016-released Ya book that DeLonge co-wrote with Geoff Herbach.

Another week, another day closer to a Ryan Seacrest television monopoly. According to Variety, Seabreeze will be executive-producing Squad Goals, a scripted sitcom that will revolve around a group of 20-something college friends who come to the eventual realization that they have to, indeed, grow up and become real adults. The script will be helmed by Lindsey Rosin and Aaron Karo, and will apparently be loosely inspired by their own life experiences and observations. This is the second project Seashell's production company sold to CBS this week — a few days ago, CBS also bought an Atlanta-based crime-drama script titled The Down Beat, which Ludacris will also be executive-producing. But really, c'mon, Seashore! Everyone now knows that squads are so passé. Covens are where it’s at.

In a world where emoji can inspire a movie, why can't a hashtag inspire a TV series?
Well, the latter is now coming true, thanks to Ryan Seacrest, who's producing a new sitcom for CBS inspired by Taylor Swift's favorite trending topic, #SquadGoals. The series, which is dropping the hashtag and just going by "Squad Goals," is described by Variety as "an ensemble comedy about a group of late 20-something friends who met in college and realize it's time to finally grow up."
The show was scripted by Lindsey Rosin and Aaron Karo, and is "loosely inspired by the writers' own observations," according to the trade. Variety also notes that the series "came to fruition when the pair realized they, among many other young adults, were at a pivotal life moment when their friends were at a crossroads, either balancing marriage and mortgages - or margaritas."
