Tubi Greenlights Four Stubios Projects 

Now fans can help a first-time filmmaker earn their greenlight 

SAN FRANCISCO, October 22, 2024 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s ad-supported streaming service, has launched Stubios and now viewers can dive into the platform to support their favorite creatives, discover new projects and engage in behind the scenes content as films and series are developed. Four Stubios greenlit by Tubi are now live on the platform in addition to 14 finalists selected from the pool of applications that went live this Spring. The finalist who receives the most engagement within their Stubio in three weeks will earn their greenlight and have their project on Tubi.

Fans can go behind the scenes as a cohort of Stubio runners, greenlit by Tubi, produce, direct and star in new projects, working titles and details include:

• Lady London’s docuseries will bring fans along the journey of her life and the creation of her debut album.  
• Kelon Campbell is starring in a feature film about his TikTok-viral character Terri Joe. The dramedy will have Terri Joe leaving her small town to see the world to discover if it’s a big bad place of sin that her parents and pastor always preached about.
• MO’ WAFFLES: An original half-hour scripted comedy about a new diner on Atlanta’s crowded restaurant scene. The series will star Grant Gibbs and Ashley Gill, of the TikTok comedy duo A Twink and a Redhead and Robin Jordan, an actress and content creator known for her comedic sketches about restaurant life.
• JOKES ON US: NEW VOICES IN COMEDY: A comedy special airing on December 5th featuring new 15 minute sets from stand up comics Cris Sosa, Daniela Mora and Grant Moore.

“It has been so fulfilling to mentor these Stubio runners,” said Issa Rae, co-founder of ColorCreative. “I love being involved in the development process. Resources matter, and between myself, Tubi and the team at ColorCreative, we’re thrilled to support these talented creators and, hopefully, fast track their careers.”

In addition to the four greenlit Stubios, 14 applicants have been selected to join the program and earn a greenlight from fans on the platform. Fans can learn about each project and support creatives by engaging with posts in their Stubio. The project that receives 15,000 engagements first, will receive a greenlight. If no one reaches that milestone within 3 weeks, the finalist with the top spot on the Stubios platform’s leaderboard, will earn the greenlight.

Finalists were chosen by a panel of judges at Tubi and ColorCreative and selected on a variety of criteria including creativity of concept and differentiation from the current Tubi catalog. Projects run the gamut, from a horror film about a glamping trip gone wrong, a raunchy teen comedy about how a back seat hook up led to a lucrative rent-by-the-mile love hotel and a dramedy about a freestyle rapping food delivery driver, who struggles with panic attacks and financial hardship. Learn more about all the projects in the program here.

“The applicants selected to go through the greenlight experience represent the future of collaborative long-form content,” said Nicole Parlapiano, CMO at Tubi. “We’re excited to watch these finalists share their unique stories, grow their following and connect with their fans through Stubios. ”

Joining the program as the first sponsor, PepsiCo’s STARRY® will be featured in MO’ WAFFLES. STARRY will be integrated into storylines in an organic way through product placements within the series. 

“STARRY is a perfect partner to bring into the program, their affinity within the Gen Z adult audience and focus on telling irreverent stories made them a natural fit for our Mo’ Waffles project,” said Nicole Parlapiano, CMO at Tubi. “We’re looking forward to bringing them along on the journey with our Stubio’s fans.”

Reaching more than 81 million monthly active users, Tubi is the most watched free TV and movie streaming service in the U.S. and recently, Tubi launched in the U.K. More than 25% of Tubi viewers watch Tubi Originals, like the premium programming that started rolling out this year – WYNONNA EARP: VENGEANCE, SIDELINED and THE Z-SUITE – which is reflective of the service’s fastest growing segment of young and diverse viewers.

Fans can sign up for a free Stubios account here.

Official rules language: In order to win the Contest, an Entrant must reach “Greenlight Status.” “Greenlight Status” goes to the first Entrant who earns fifteen thousand (15,000) points on the Stubios platform, or, if no one reaches that milestone by 11:59 pm PT on November 11, 2024, to the Entrant with the top spot on the Stubios platform’s leaderboard.

EVIL AMONG US: GRIM SLEEPER (11/6):

The Grim Sleeper, one of the nation’s most infamous serial killers, remained undetected for decades—until a shocking breakthrough changed everything.

SAN FRANCISCO, OCTOBER 15, 2024 – The BBC and TUBI have released first-look pictures for the return of the hit comedy-drama Boarders, which will arrive for a second term next year on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three in the UK and on TUBI, co-producer, in North America and LATAM, as well as ZDFneo in Germany. Created and written by the BAFTA-nominated Daniel Lawrence Taylor, who co-stars in the series as Gus, Boarders is produced by Studio Lambert, part of All3Media, in association with All3Media International for the BBC. 

The new images show Josh Tedeku (Jaheim), Jodie Campbell (Leah), Sekou Diaby (Toby), Myles Kamwendo (Omar) and Aruna Jalloh (Femi) back at St Gilbert’s for series two. They are seen alongside returning characters Harry Gilby (Rupert), Tallulah Greive (Beatrix), Rosie Graham (Florence), Assa Kanouté (Abby), Georgia Sadler (Mabel) and Niky Wardley (Carol Watlington-Geese). 

Announced today, new cast members for series two include BAFTA-winner Wunmi Mosaku (Loki, Deadpool & Wolverine, Black Mirror) as Jaheim’s mum, Grace. Cara Theobold (Downton Abbey) joins the cast as St Gilbert’s new writer in residence Jude, with Michael Salami (Supacell) as Femi’s Uncle Teju. Kenda Brown stars in her debut on-screen role as the new American exchange student, Devon’ye. 

Boarders follows five talented black inner-city teens transported to an alien world – a British boarding school – after gaining scholarships to the prestigious St. Gilbert’s. They set out to make the most out of the opportunity, despite their places only being offered as a poorly-disguised PR exercise to improve the reputation of the school. 

Series two sees a new era for St Gilbert’s, with headmaster Bernard – who had brought the scholarship students into the school – suspended following a school rebellion. Now acting headmistress Carol Watlington-Geese (who also happens to be the mother of Jaheim’s nemesis, Rupert) is at the helm – and she wants them gone. 

Series one saw these five outsiders begin to thrive. Series two asks how much they’re willing to sacrifice just to survive.

Returning cast from series one also include Zheng Xi Yong (Xiang), Dillon Mitra (Dilton), Archie Fisher (Cheddar), Andrew Harmon-Gray (Graham), Ruxandra Porojnicu (Yelena), Kye Malcolm (Caleb), Llewella Gideon (Sylvie), Mohammed Mansaray (Malachi), Niyi Akin (Koku), Maxim Ays (Felix), Al Foran (Stanley), William Andrews (Mackers) and Yuriri Naka (Ms Kaneko). 

Daniel Lawrence Taylor, creator, writer and executive producer, says: “Bringing the new season of Boarders to life has been an incredible experience, especially with the exciting addition of new faces to the cast. Watching the actors effortlessly return to their roles, as if they had never left, has been an absolute joy. We hope you enjoy this second helping of the series as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it!”

Madeleine Sinclair, executive producer for Studio Lambert, says: “We’re so thrilled with our cast for series two of Boarders, both the wonderful returning characters and the exciting new faces – viewers are in for a real treat. Daniel’s scripts are once again as funny as they are thought-provoking and our talented cast come together to bring them to life perfectly.”

Boarders series two (6×45)’ is created by Daniel Lawrence Taylor, who serves as lead writer with Yemi Oyefuwa, Jeffrey Aidoo and Racheal Ofori writing additional episodes. It is directed by Joelle Mae David and Sarmad Masud, with Ali MacPhail returning as the producer and Carleen Beadle-Larcombe as line producer. Mykaell Riley will also return as Musical Director. Executive producers are Daniel Lawrence Taylor, Madeleine Sinclair and Susan Hogg for Studio Lambert, and Nawfal Faizullah and Katherine Bond for the BBC.

The first series of Boarders is available to stream on BBC iPlayer now in the UK and on Tubi across North America and LATAM. Series two will arrive on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three next year.

Tubi Launches New Campaign “Free for Everyone”

Tubi’s service is for free for truly everyone – whether you’re a community hero or a local villain

SAN FRANCISCO, September 5, 2024 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, announced a new ad campaign, “Free for Everyone.” In a series of commercials, Tubi, the most watched free movie and TV ad supported streamer in the US, articulates that the platform is truly free for everyone: whether it’s teachers who raise the next generation of world leaders or kids who skip class to throw rocks at windows. The campaign will air in broadcast and be paired with a creator campaign that lives in social media.

“Tubi is so much more than its free status, and we’ve built a brand that reflects the core truth of our platform – a place to celebrate all the stories our viewers love,” said Nicole Parlapiano, Tubi CMO. “But, recent research showed us that 62% of consumers* who were familiar with Tubi still didn’t know we are free. Between consumers watching their wallets and the insights we gathered – it felt like the right time to kick off a campaign to remind the world that we don’t cost a thing, in a cheeky way.”

“Tubi approaches everything in a way that separates them from the streaming crowd,” said Greg Hahn, co-founder and chief creative officer at Mischief. “The marketing team has a strong belief that every message is a chance to build the brand. In this case, it means finding an entertaining, unexpected, and brutally true way of talking about the fact it is free.”

Tubi has surpassed 81 million monthly active users and recently reached 2.1 percent of total TV viewing time according to Nielsen’s The Gauge. The brand has had multiple creative campaigns this year including “What What You Actually Want to Watch” as a part of launching in the UK in July and “Tubi is More Popular Than” which compared the size of Tubi’s audience to popular things in the world, like bring French or having babies, timed to the Upfronts in May.

The new campaign goes live today and will run on broadcast through football season and have an influencer-driven campaign on social. The campaign was co-created by Tubi’s creative agency of record Mischief @ No Fixed Address.

TUBI RE-ENROLLS FOR SECOND SEASON OF THE BBC’S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED COMING-OF-AGE SERIES “BOARDERS”

Produced by Studio Lambert In Association with All3Media International, the Upcoming Season will see Tubi as Co-Producer with BBC

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 2024 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced that it will once again be the exclusive home in North America and LATAM for the BBC’s critically acclaimed coming-of-age series BOARDERS, when it returns for a second season. The six-episode second season of the comedy-drama will be a co-production between Tubi and the BBC, and will be produced by Studio Lambert, part of All3Media, in association with All3Media International for the BBC.

The first season of BOARDERS was Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 100% rating.  Written by BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Daniel Lawrence Taylor, BOARDERS follows the lives of five talented Black teenagers from inner-city London as they navigate life at an elite boarding school. As previously announced by the BBC, the second season will see a new era for the students at St Gilbert’s. With the headmaster who brought them on now suspended following a school rebellion, the acting headmistress has made her intentions clear– she wants them gone. The first season focused on the five outsiders as they begin to thrive in this new boarding school environment and the second season will test them in how much they’re willing to sacrifice to survive.

“With such an incredible response from our viewers and critics alike after premiering the first season on Tubi– we are thrilled to be back in session with BOARDERS,” said Sam Harowitz, Senior Vice President of Content Acquisitions and Partnerships, Tubi. “Our belief in Daniel Lawrence Taylor’s compelling storytelling and the show’s phenomenal cast is underscored by our commitment to come on board as a co-producer this season as we continue to bring our audiences relevant and authentic stories that appeal to young and diverse viewers.”

“We were overwhelmed by the response to Boarders series one when it launched on TUBI in North America and Latam – to have received the feedback from critics and American viewers alike was fantastic,” said writer, creator and executive producer, Daniel Lawrence Taylor. “As you can imagine, we’re excited to be back at St Gilberts and on set with what I hope will be every bit as funny, thought provoking and as well received as the first series. We’re delighted to be working with the team at TUBI again.”

Returning for the second season, Josh Tedeku (Jaheim), Jodie Campbell (Leah), Sekou Diaby (Toby), Myles Kamwendo (Omar) and Aruna Jalloh (Femi) will all reprise their roles, alongside writer and creator Daniel Lawrence Taylor as their mentor Gus. Returning cast also includes Harry Gilby (Rupert), Tallulah Greive (Beatrix), Rosie Graham (Florence), Assa Kanouté (Abby), and Niky Wardley (Carol Watlington-Geese) with more to be announced.

BOARDERS  is created by Daniel Lawrence Taylor, who serves as lead writer with Yemi Oyefuwa, Jeffrey Aidoo and Racheal Ofori writing additional episodes. The series  is produced by Studio Lambert,  part of All3Media. It is directed by Joelle Mae David and Sarmad Masud with Ali MacPhail returning as the producer and Carleen Beadle-Larcombe as line producer. Mykaell Riley will also return as Musical Director. Executive producers are Daniel Lawrence Taylor, Madeleine Sinclair and Susan Hogg for Studio Lambert, and Nawfal Faizullah and Katherine Bond for the BBC.

Creative Director, Scripted and Executive Producer for Studio Lambert, Madeleine Sinclair, says: “Working with TUBI for season one elevated the reach of our BOARDERS cast to a wide and loyal audience. Daniel’s fantastic scripts are sure to continue to delight TUBI audiences in this second season – his blend of comedy and drama together with our talented cast once again make it irresistible viewing and we can’t wait to share it with you.”

The first season of BOARDERS is available to stream in full now in North America on Tubi and in the UK on BBC iPlayer.  All3Media International is the global partner for the series.

With nearly 80 million monthly active users, Tubi has emerged as the fastest growing U.S. streaming service since its debut on the Nielsen Gauge just over a year ago. Tubi once again tied Disney+ in total viewing time according to Nielsen’s The Gauge Report in June and continues its position as the #1 AVOD player.
