TUBI DEBUTS BUILDERS PROGRAM TO DEVELOP FUTURE TECH LEADERS

The Tubi Builders Program Will Drive Innovation From Tubi’s New San Francisco Headquarters Opening This Fall

San Francisco, CA – August 7, 2025 –Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced the Tubi Builders Program, an 18-month rotational initiative designed to develop the next generation of product and engineering leaders, and the opening of a new office in San Francisco this Fall. Tubi offers free streaming for fandoms through a personalized experience within the world’s largest collection of movies and TV episodes including hundreds of exclusive originals.

 

“At Tubi we’re building the future of entertainment technology and we’re excited to invest in the city of San Francisco, where our business began over a decade ago, with a new office and our Builders Program” said Mike Bidgoli, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Tubi. “The Tubi Builders Program is our investment in the next generation of technologists. It reflects our belief that innovation thrives when fresh perspectives meet real opportunity.”

Tubi Builders program offers participants hands-on experience, technical mentorship and career acceleration across software engineering, machine learning and product management tracks. Following 18 months in the program, participants will have the opportunity to transition into full-time roles at Tubi. The Builders Program is a long-term investment in cultivating bold thinkers and boundary-pushers to help shape the next chapter of entertainment technology, developed in partnership with Tubi’s People team.

“We believe in creating opportunities for new grads to break into the workforce,” said Natasha Valani, Chief People Officer at Tubi. “We’re excited to empower this exceptional inaugural cohort to innovate with our product and engineering teams.”

Tubi selected a group of 20 talented individuals to form its inaugural cohort selected from a pool of 11,000 applicants nationwide. Candidates went through a competitive multi-step process—including personal video statements, technical assessments and interviews with senior leaders. Each participant rotates through three six-month assignments across their chosen track—Associate Product Manager, Associate Software Engineer or Associate Machine Learning Engineer—and gains exposure to different teams and technical challenges. While working with a different manager for each rotation, all participants are paired with a dedicated mentor from Tubi’s engineering and product team for the duration of the program.

In tandem with the program’s debut, Tubi is opening a new headquarters in San Francisco. The San Francisco HQ is Tubi’s largest office and home to its core product and engineering teams. Designed for increased collaboration, the space will continue to serve as the company’s HQ and will be the primary base for the Tubi Builders Program inaugural cohort.

Tubi recently announced Tubi for Creators, a new program designed to accelerate Tubi’s investment in bringing more original stories from talented creators to its audience of over 100 million monthly active viewers. This May at NewFronts, Tubi’s product team rolled out new ad formats, including immersive homepage takeovers and AI driven tech that enables brands’ ad creative to appear in the most relevant content moments during a viewer’s journey.

PARIS BERELC TO CO-STAR AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCE  UPCOMING TUBI ORIGINAL YA ROMANTIC COMEDY FILM  “KISSING IS THE EASY PART”

July 10, 2025

PARIS BERELC TO CO-STAR AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCE 

UPCOMING TUBI ORIGINAL YA ROMANTIC COMEDY FILM 

“KISSING IS THE EASY PART”

Jennifer Robertson Also Joins the Cast with Fawzia Mirza Set to Direct and Executive Produce As Tubi Continues to Add to Young Adult Programming Slate

 

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10,  2025  – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced Paris Berelc (Alexa & Katie) will star opposite Asher Angel (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) in the Tubi Original YA Romantic Comedy Film KISSING IS THE EASY PART. Jennifer Robertson (Ginny & Georgia) also joins the cast as Angel’s mother. Fawzia Mirza (The Queen of my Dreams) is set to direct the film, which is based on the popular Wattpad webnovel (currently at 31.9 million reads) of the same name by Christine Duann adapted by Rebecca Webb. Both Berelc and Mirza also serve as executive producers.

 

Berelc is set to play “Flora,” the effortlessly cool girl everyone at school knows – popular, funny, unpredictable and opinionated – who resists the academic path her parents envision for her and creates a connection with her tutor, “Sean” (Angel), that forces her to question everything she thought she knew about herself, love and her own potential. Robertson plays “Erin,” a warm and kind single mother raising her kids after the passing of her late husband who welcomes “Flora” into her family and watches with joy as her son (Angel) finds love for the first time. 

 

“I’ve always wanted to make a classic high school romcom, so it’s a dream to be directing KISSING IS THE EASY PART with Asher, Paris and our amazing cast and crew. Now more than ever, we need films that center joy, love and possibility, and I can’t wait for audiences to fall in love with KISSING and be reminded of the power of the romcom,” said director Fawzia Mirza.

 

“We are delighted to welcome Paris, Jennifer, and this talented ensemble cast as they join Asher in breathing life into these charming and dynamic characters,” said Adam Lewinson, Tubi’s Chief Content Officer. “With Fawzia’s unique vision guiding the narrative, this heartfelt love story promises to connect deeply with young audiences, and fits in perfectly with our young adult slate of original movies.”

 

The romantic comedy tells the story of a straight-A overachiever who makes a deal to tutor a popular wild child in exchange for a college recommendation letter to his dream school, but when sparks fly, school is the least of their problems. The film was previously announced at Fox Upfront as part of Tubi’s young adult programming slate. Additional cast includes Tom Keat (Fear Street: Prom Queen), Hayley Festeryga (This Time), Roshahn Dhoré (Adults), Mark Ballantyne (The Way Home),  Rosalie Turmel (Cirkus) and Sorika Wolf (Fargo).

 

KISSING IS THE EASY PART is produced by WEBTOON Productions’ David Madden, Jason Goldberg, and Wattpad President Aron Levitz. Asher Angel executive produces, as well as Berelc, Mirza, Rebecca Webb, and Blue Ice Pictures’ Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron, and Samantha Levine.

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

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.
