TUBI AND KICKSTARTER PARTNER TO BRING INDEPENDENT FILMS TO MILLIONS OF VIEWERS

New Slate of 20+ Kickstarter-Funded Films Launching Exclusively on Tubi this Fall

San Francisco, CA –  June 12, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) free ad-supported streaming service, has partnered with Kickstarter on a unique strategic partnership to bring over 20 Kickstarter funded films to Tubi’s platform for an exclusive period. 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. Kickstarter and Tubi will pledge directly to 10 Kickstarter campaigns to help meet the selected campaigns’ funding goals. These titles will be exclusively available on Tubi for the first 3 months.

“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.”

Since 2009, Kickstarter has been a launchpad for thousands of independent films — including Oscar nominees and winners, Sundance selections, and other critically acclaimed projects. More than 34,000 films have successfully raised funds on Kickstarter including projects from filmmakers like Nia DaCosta, Matthew A. Cherry, Ali Abbasi, and Alex Cox. 

This partnership is a part of Tubi’s broader programming strategy to develop, license and acquire premium programming and creator projects that serve fandoms and resonate with young, multicultural audiences. This includes  breaking down barriers to Hollywood through partnerships with The Blacklist, independent distributors and the launch of Stubios, the first fan-fueled studio in streaming that puts the power of the green light in the hands of the fans.

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.
