SAN FRANCISCO, May 12, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced a series of premium programming and creator projects dedicated to serving Tubi fandoms and deepening resonance with young, multicultural audiences at the FOX Upfront in New York City. Tubi reaches over 97 million monthly active users and offers free, premium entertainment through the largest collection of on-demand movies and TV episodes, including hundreds of culturally resonant originals. "Ad-supported streaming has gone from emerging to essential, and Tubi is leading the way with culture-setting Originals, World Cup programming and product innovation,” said Anjali Sud, Chief Executive Officer of Tubi. “In an intensely competitive market, we surpassed a billion dollars in ad revenue and continue to accelerate our traction as brands, agencies and partners increasingly look to resonate authentically with young, hard-to-reach audiences.” Tubi 2025-2026 Programming Slate The all new adult animated comedy, BREAKING BEAR is a fur-flying, law-breaking, forest-saving rampage following a dysfunctional family of bears who go full criminal to stop frackers, mobsters, and a psychotic wolf pack from destroying their home. As they spiral deeper into the criminal abyss, they face off against biker gangs, an egomaniacal news anchor, and their own spectacular talent for self-sabotage. OscarⓇ Winner Brendan Fraser (The Whale), EMMYⓇ Winner Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), EMMYⓇ Winner Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek) with Elizabeth Hurley (The Royals) and TonyⓇ Nominee Josh Gad (Frozen) will lend their voices to the series created by Julien Nitzberg (The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia) and produced by Evoke Entertainment (Creepshow, Twelve Forever, and Day of the Dead) and Tom DeLonge’s To The Stars Media (Monsters of California, Unidentified). Tubi has renewed the Channel 4 hit comedy BIG MOOD starring Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) who earned a BAFTA nomination for her performance and Lydia West (It’s A Sin). It’s been a year since Maggie and Eddie last saw each other, without any contact between the best friends. When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn’t alone - Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney. Can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie’s new life? Or will Maggie lose Eddie forever? Written and created by Camilla Whitehill, it will again be directed by Rebecca Asher. Executive Producers are Lotte Beasley Mestriner, Laurence Bowen and Chris Carey for Dancing Ledge Productions and Camilla Whitehill. Tubi will co-produce with Channel 4 and Fremantle’s Dancing Ledge Productions. After breaking hearts and Tubi viewership records during the 2024 Holiday Season, Tubi has not only wrapped production on the highly anticipated SIDELINED 2: INTERCEPTED starring Noah Beck, Siena Agudong and Charlie Gillespie (Julie and the Phantoms), with James Van Der Beek (Pose) and Drew Ray Tanner (Riverdale) reprising their roles, but it has greenlit three all-new Young Adult Tubi Original Films. HIVE, starring Xochitl Gomez (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) is a real-time, socially conscious horror-thriller about a strict, anxious teenager (Gomez) who loses the child she’s babysitting and must brave a sinister force hiding in plain sight among the children in the playground. As her world unravels and her grip on reality starts to slip, she must outwit a world where nothing is as it seems, to make it out alive. The film is produced by Blue Ice Pictures, alongside Nick Scully, Adam Friedlander and Darren Cameron. Lance Samuels and Samantha Levine serve as Executive Producers. Felipe Vargas has written and will direct the full length feature based on his short of the same title. Chase Hudson (Downfalls High) also known professionally as Huddy, stars in HOW TO LOSE A POPULARITY CONTEST, which was featured as one of 2024’s The Love List “Best Unproduced Romance Scripts,” written by Kaitlin Reilly and Dorian Keyes. HOW TO LOSE A POPULARITY CONTEST is a sharp, flirty high school rom-com about a bad boy and a type-A overachiever teaming up to win student body president - and maybe each other. The film is executive produced by Devorah Moos Hankin, with Lori Massini executive producing and Lindsay McAdam and Jason Fischer producing on behalf of Great Pacific Media, a Thunderbird company. KISSING IS THE EASY PART, starring Asher Angel (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) is based on the popular Wattpad webnovel of the same name by Christine Duann to be adapted by Rebecca Webb. Straight-A overachiever Sean (Angel) makes a deal to tutor wild child Flora in exchange for a college recommendation letter to his dream school - but when sparks fly, school is the least of their problems. The film is produced by Wattpad WEBTOON Studios' David Madden, Jason Goldberg and Aron Levitz. Asher Angel executive produces, as well as Blue Ice Pictures' Lance Samuels and Samantha Levine. As FOX prepares to carry the World Cup, Tubi will be launching the Original Docuseries, DESTINATION WORLD CUP 2026 (Working Title) which immerses fans into the lives of three players, on and off the pitch, during a critical period in their careers. Produced by 4.4.Forty Media and Headers & Volleys Entertainment, it will chart the highs and lows of life as an elite footballer through the eyes of the stars themselves, exploring what it takes to juggle the growing demands of an intense club schedule with the high-pressure commitments of international games in the build up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The three star international players from Argentina, Morocco and the United States will be announced soon, as will additional programming with Tubi continuing to provide compelling content at the intersection of sports and culture. “With fandom-focused new projects featuring incredible talent, from the star-studded cast of BREAKING BEAR to the meteoric rising stars of our YA titles, Tubi Originals are having a moment,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “We are committed to listening to our viewers and giving them more of what they love, like a sequel to our viral megahit SIDELINED, a second season of the very relevant comedy BIG MOOD, and more content built around cultural moments such as DESTINATION WORLD CUP 2026. We will continue to amplify our original stories that resonate with our young and diverse viewers.” On Tuesday, May 6th, at the Tubi NewFront in New York City, Tubi announced new interactive ad experiences including Tubi Wrappers for studio advertisers; Carousels enabling brands to create immersive virtual showrooms or product showcases; AI-powered Tubi Moments, which capture the tone, sentiment and visual cues, enabling ad creative to appear in the most relevant content; Tubi Storefronts for shoppable collections; mobile experiences and more.
