Fox Entertainment is a U.S.-based media firm owned by Fox Corporation, focusing on the creation and distribution of television content. Founded in 2019 after The Walt Disney Company completed its purchase of 21st Century Fox, the company operates out of offices located in Midtown Manhattan and Los Angeles, California. Serving as the successor to the former Fox Entertainment Group, which merged into Walt Disney Studios in 2019, Fox Entertainment develops programming for the Fox Broadcasting Company, MyNetworkTV, and the streaming platform Tubi. Its syndication division, Fox First Run, handles distribution for Fox Television Stations and functions as Fox’s production arm.

History

Following Disney’s acquisition of major assets including 20th Century Fox Television, Fox Entertainment broadened its scope in August 2019 by purchasing the animation studio Bento Box Entertainment. In April 2020, Fox collaborated with streaming service Caffeine to create the AniDom Beyond Show. The company initially launched Sidecar, a unit focused on developing both scripted and unscripted content for Fox’s broadcast channel and external outlets; however, Sidecar was shuttered in June 2020 due to challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In August 2021, Fox entered into an overall agreement with chef Gordon Ramsay to establish Studio Ramsay Global, consolidating Ramsay’s projects under one umbrella within Fox. The following month, Fox purchased TMZ from WarnerMedia for around $50 million. Later that year, Fox secured a first-look arrangement with Wonwoo Park, the creator behind the Korean format inspiring The Masked Singer, and acquired television film producer MarVista Entertainment, concentrating on content tailored for Tubi. Additionally, the company revived series such as Cops and Duck Family Treasure, a spin-off of Duck Dynasty, specifically for its streaming service Fox Nation.

In February 2022, Fox obtained the rights to the Gumby franchise. By September 2022, it launched its inaugural fully in-house production division, Fox Entertainment Studios, which premiered the series Monarch. Simultaneously, Fox resumed international distribution efforts through Fox Entertainment Global.

January 2023 marked a multi-year agreement with Hulu granting in-season streaming rights to Fox’s primetime lineup. In July 2023, Fox committed to expanding its television production footprint in Ireland by creating a significant unscripted production hub and designating it as the worldwide production center for Ramsay’s Next Level Chef. During the industry strikes of 2023, Fox realigned its entertainment operations more closely with its parent company.

On March 27, 2024, Fox restructured into three divisions: Fox Television Network, Fox Entertainment Studios (led by Fernando Szew), and Fox Entertainment Global. This reorganization resulted in roughly 30 job cuts by July 2024.

In October 2025, Fox invested in vertical video firm Holywater, planning to produce over 200 vertical video projects for My Drama through its studios. That same month, it acquired an ownership stake in B.J. Novak’s restaurant pop-up brand Chain, entering a first-look deal to develop associated media content. November 2025 saw Fox acquire rom-com podcast company Meet Cute as part of its expansion into audio entertainment.
