Fox Alternative Entertainment
Fox Entertainment is a U.S.-based media firm under the ownership of Fox Corporation, concentrating on the production and distribution of television content. Created in 2019 after The Walt Disney Company acquired 21st Century Fox, the company operates from locations in Midtown Manhattan and Los Angeles, California. As the successor to the former Fox Entertainment Group, which merged with Walt Disney Studios in 2019, Fox Entertainment develops programming for the Fox Broadcasting Company, MyNetworkTV, and Tubi. Its syndication and distribution operations are handled by Fox First Run, serving both Fox Broadcasting and Fox Television Stations.
History
Following Disney’s acquisition of assets including 20th Century Fox Television, Fox Entertainment expanded its portfolio by purchasing animation studio Bento Box Entertainment in August 2019. In April 2020, it collaborated with Caffeine to launch the AniDom Beyond Show, hosted by Andy Richter. The company initially introduced a content accelerator division named Sidecar to develop scripted and unscripted projects for broadcast and third-party platforms; however, Sidecar was discontinued in June 2020 due to the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry.
In August 2021, Fox Entertainment secured a comprehensive agreement with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay to establish Studio Ramsay Global, consolidating his ventures under one umbrella within Fox. The following month, it purchased TMZ from WarnerMedia for approximately $50 million. Later that year, Fox signed Wonwoo Park—the creator of the South Korean format King of Mask Singer, adapted as The Masked Singer—to a first-look deal and acquired television film producer MarVista Entertainment, emphasizing content creation for its streaming platform Tubi. Additionally, Fox revived shows such as Cops and introduced Duck Family Treasure, a sequel to Duck Dynasty, exclusively for its streaming service Fox Nation.
In February 2022, Fox Entertainment obtained ownership rights to the Gumby franchise. By September 2022, it inaugurated Fox Entertainment Studios—its first fully internal television production division—with its premiere series Monarch. That same month marked Fox’s reentry into international distribution through the launch of Fox Entertainment Global.
January 2023 saw Fox secure a multi-year agreement granting Hulu streaming rights for its primetime series. By mid-2023, the company committed to expanding its television production footprint in Ireland, establishing its largest unscripted production hub there and designating it as the global headquarters for Next Level Chef, starring Gordon Ramsay. During the 2023 Actors' and Writers' strikes, Fox Entertainment realigned its operations to ensure closer integration with its parent company, Fox Corporation.
On March 27, 2024, Fox reorganized into three divisions: Fox Television Network, Fox Entertainment Studios, and Fox Entertainment Global; Fernando Szew was named head of Studios. This restructuring led to approximately 30 layoffs in July 2024.
In October 2025, Fox invested in vertical video enterprise Holywater, pledging to produce more than 200 vertical video projects for My Drama within two years. Simultaneously, it acquired an equity interest in B.J. Novak’s restaurant pop-up brand Chain along with a first-look deal for associated media productions. In November 2025, Fox further diversified into audio entertainment by acquiring rom-com podcast producer Meet Cute.
