TUBI TO LAUNCH AMC STUDIOS’ SCI-FI COMEDY SERIES

“DEMASCUS” AS A TUBI ORIGINAL

Tubi will Premiere the Full Season of the Limited Series From Playwright Tearrance Arvelle Chisholm Starring Okieriete Onaodowan, Martin Lawrence, Janet Hubert, Caleb Eberhardt and Shakira Ja’nai Paye on Thursday, August 7th 

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced it has partnered with AMC Networks to premiere DEMASCUS, the six episode half-hour comedic sci-fi series from playwright Tearrance Arvelle Chisholm and AMC Studios that focuses on the title character as a Tubi Original. The limited series is executive produced by Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul), via his Gran Via Productions banner and Myki Bajaj of Gran Via. Kirk A. Moore (American Crime, For Life) and Chisholm serve as co-showrunners. The series will premiere exclusively on Tubi Thursday, August 7th. 

“We’re excited to introduce audiences to DEMASCUS—a bold, genre-bending blend of comedy and sci-fi that challenges conventions as much as it entertains,” said Samuel Harowitz, SVP of Content Acquisition and Partnerships at Tubi. “At Tubi, we champion stories that surprise, provoke, delight and resonate deeply with engaged fandoms, and DEMASCUS is exactly the kind of original storytelling we’re proud to spotlight.”

“Through his titular character Demascus, Tearrance Chisholm asks one of life’s simplest questions: What does it take to be a good man? And he answers it with some of the most surprising and nuanced revelations one could expect,” said Executive Producer, Mark Johnson. “We thank AMC Studios for sharing our belief in this seriocomic series and Tubi for its steadfast conviction that it belongs on the air.”

DEMASCUS follows Demascus (Okieriete Onaodowan, Station 19), a Black man who goes on a journey of self-discovery using an experimental reality-bending technology. The series is a comedic, genre-defying, coming-of-age story that explores the gulf between Black male perspectives. Also starring are Janet Hubert (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), Caleb Eberhardt (Judas and the Black Messiah), Shakira Ja’nai Paye (Single Drunk Female, black-ish) and Martin Lawrence (in a recurring role). 

Benin Mtume from Tubi’s Content Acquisition and Partnerships team brokered the deal to bring Demascus to Tubi with AMC Networks’ Mark Dee-Shapland, Senior Vice President of Global Content Sales.

TUBI ACQUIRES SPORTS DOCUMENTARY SERIES “ZERO STAR: THE CAM WARD STORY”

Six-Episode Series Developed and Produced by Firebrand Media Group Premieres September 2025, Exclusively on Tubi

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2025 — Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced it has acquired the original sports documentary series ZERO STAR: THE CAM WARD STORY, a powerful new docuseries chronicling the unlikely rise of Cam Ward — from an overlooked high school quarterback with a single Division I FCS offer to the leader of the Miami Hurricanes and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The series will premiere exclusively on Tubi in September 2025.

Developed and produced by Firebrand Media Group, the six-episode series delivers unprecedented access to Cam Ward’s life — on and off the field. ZERO STAR is more than a football story: it’s a portrait of faith, family, and resilience in the face of constant rejection. Through never-before-seen archival footage, raw behind-the-scenes moments, and intimate interviews with Ward, his family, coaches, teachers, and teammates, the series peels back the layers of a young man who refused to quit.

“Being overlooked — in my shoes, it was a blessing and a curse,” says Ward. “I overcame the curse by turning adversity into strength and I have played with nothing to lose, which is a blessing.  It means you bring it all and leave it all out there on the field and in life.”

“We’re incredibly grateful to share our story,” says Calvin Ward, Cam’s father. “From the very beginning, when no one else saw Cam’s potential, we believed in him. This journey wasn’t just about football — it was about faith, perseverance, and never giving up on your child, even when the world says no.” 

“I’ve seen Cam at his lowest and his most determined,” adds Chantel Ward, Cam’s sister. “People don’t understand how many nights he questioned if it was all worth it — but he never stopped fighting. As his sister, I couldn’t be prouder.”

Each episode in ZERO STAR explores a pivotal moment in Cam’s life — from being passed over at regional camps, to his record-setting season at UIW, to the media frenzy around his transfer to Miami, and ultimately to his unexpected Heisman run. The series follows Cam to the NFL Draft, capturing the emotional weight of a family that never gave up, and the raw payoff of a young man finally being seen.

“Cam’s journey isn’t just about football — it’s about heart, belief, and the power of second chances,” says director Alec Roth, a partner at Firebrand Media Group. “This series gives viewers an unfiltered look at a young man who was told ‘no’ at every stage yet refused to quit. From backyard games in West Columbia to draft night glory, Cam’s story unfolds across six episodes filled with raw emotion, defining moments, and behind-the-scenes access. It’s a modern hero’s journey — and a blueprint for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked.”

“From zero star to No. 1 pick, Cam Ward’s story is a rallying cry to all underdogs to face adversity head-on, “said Sam Harowitz, SVP of Content Acquisitions and Partnerships at Tubi.  “With Firebrand Media Group, we’re excited to bring this docuseries to Tubi viewers, offering an intimate portrait of the young man behind jersey #1.”

For Firebrand Media Group, ZERO STAR represents a creative vision brought to life without compromise. “We’re proud to partner with Tubi for the exclusive premiere and national release of ZERO STAR: The Cam Ward Story,” said Jeff Symon, Head of Revenue and Distribution at Firebrand Media Group. “Tubi has shown tremendous support for our creative vision, allowing us to stay true to the heart of this story while also backing the series with the promotion it deserves. We’re excited for audiences everywhere to experience Cam’s inspiring journey.”

ZERO STAR: THE CAM WARD STORY is developed and produced by Firebrand Media Group, alongside director Alec Roth (Billy Knight) and producers Josh Clayton, Jeff Symon, Kirk Martin, Robby Clifford, Manoj Gandhi, Jelani Hawkins, Peter Morgan, Tuan Bui and producer/editor James Tartanella. The acquisition deal was brokered by Jeff Symon on behalf of Firebrand and Ian Nelson for Tubi.

Tubi reaches over 97 million monthly active users and offers free, premium entertainment through the world’s largest collection of on-demand movies and TV episodes, including hundreds of culturally resonant originals. This partnership empowers Kickstarter filmmakers by providing them access to Tubi’s large and growing audience, who can look forward to discovering over 20 fan-supported films, available on Tubi this Fall.

“We’re excited to bring Kickstarter creatives and the communities who support them to Tubi’s audience of nearly 100 million viewers,” said Anjali Sud, CEO at Tubi. “Tubi is becoming the home for the next generation of Hollywood talent. Whether we’re bringing crowd-funded films onto the platform, turning a Wattpad novel into a movie or putting the power to green-light in the hands of the fans – we are expanding the pathways for creators to grow their audience and adding greater diversity and differentiation to our content offering.”

The films selected by Kickstarter and Tubi to come onto the platform will reflect genres that uniquely resonate with Tubi  fandoms. In addition to providing distribution and discovery for the slate, Tubi will invest into the FilmStream Collective Fund – available exclusively to filmmakers on Kickstarter – to support films in need of funding to complete their films.

“Our mission has always been to help people bring their creative projects to life,” said Everette Taylor, Kickstarter’s Chief Executive Officer. “Fulfilling that mission means reaching beyond our core crowdfunding service finding aligned partners like Tubi who want to collaborate on reducing the barriers that stand in the way of creatives bringing their ideas to life. Together, we’re building a new opportunity for filmmakers to share their work with global audiences and get the visibility they deserve.”
