Blink-182's Tom DeLonge is developing TBS sci-fi series Strange Times, about teen skateboarders solving paranormal mysteries

Variety

The guitarist, who left Blink-182 in 2015 to pursue his interest in aliens and paranormal activity, will produce Strange Times, a drama inspired by his childhood. DeLonge considers the show a "science fiction Disney." "The gang of characters in the story is based on the tribe of degenerate skateboarders that I grew up with — right around the same time I started my band Blink-182," he says. "The story is also set in that same town. Charlie, the main character, is a bit of myself. A boy searching for answers, trying to find a way out of suburbia, but laughing with his ridiculous, irreverent friends along the way."
