"As FOX Entertainment Global wraps a successful first year of operation and prepares to return to MIPCOM, our strategy to further expand our fast-growing library of owned content with global appeal is already making a meaningful impact on the international landscape," said Fernando Szew, CEO of FEG and MarVista Entertainment. "This addition of premium unscripted content from Gordon Ramsay, FAE and TMZ uniquely complements our fast-growing roster of multiplatform, linear and streaming content, including animation, scripted series and original movies."
Highlighting FEG's unscripted roster of tape and format sales at MIPCOM are SNAKE OIL, FAE's all-new game show launching on FOX on September 27, hosted and produced by Emmy and Golden Globe Award-nominated comedian David Spade and executive-produced by Emmy nominee Will Arnett; and hit singing competition series THE MASKED SINGER, which this month launched its milestone tenth season. Studio Ramsay Global's hit cooking competition series, NEXT LEVEL CHEF, which delivered 16.7 million Total Viewers in its post-Super Bowl LVII Season Two Premiere, becoming the most-watched cooking series telecast in television history also joins FEG's MIPCOM slate, alongside the documentary specials TMZ INVESTIGATES: GILGO BEACH SERIAL MURDERS: MISSED WARNING SIGNS, TMZ INVESTIGATES: BRITNEY SPEARS: DIVORCE & DESPAIR and TMZ PRESENTS: TRAGICALLY VIRAL.
Joining FEG's unscripted series is the highly anticipated animated comedy KRAPOPOLIS, from Emmy Award winner, creator and executive producer Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty, Community). Set to premiere on FOX on Sunday, September 24, and already renewed for three seasons, KRAPOPOLIS features the voices of Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso), Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd) and Matt Berry (What We Do in The Shadows). FEG is also distributing the animated series GRIMSBURG, starring and executive produced by Emmy winner Jon Hamm (Mad Men, Top Gun: Maverick), which will premiere on FOX this mid-season and has been renewed for a second season. Both GRIMSBURG and KRAPOPOLIS are produced by Bento Box. Rounding out FEG's scripted series slate is the single-camera comedy ANIMAL CONTROL, starring and executive produced by Emmy nominee Joel McHale. Renewed for a second season and FOX's first wholly owned live-action comedy, ANIMAL CONTROL is produced by FOX Entertainment Studios and launched in 2022 as FOX's most-streamed scripted debut ever.
FEG also plans to unveil more than 20 made-for-platform movies in Cannes from MarVista and Bento Box, which produced the animated features BIG BRUH, MILLENIAL HUNTER and PASTACOLYPSE. MarVista's new holiday films include RESCUING CHRISTMAS, starring Rachael Leigh Cook (She's All That; The Baby-Sitters Club; Josie and the Pussycats); CHRISTMAS REVISTED; and A CHRISTMAS SERENADE. Among MarVista's new dramas are GOD'S GRACE: THE SHEILA JOHNSON STORY, featuring Golden Globe Award winner Michael Beach (Mayor of Kingstown, Third Watch); and thrillers THE MURDAUGH MURDERS, BELOW DECK DECEIT, DEADLY DILF, A DEADLY INFLUENCE, FINAL HEIST, MIDNIGHT HUSTLE and STALKED BY MY STEPSISTER, to name a few.
Additionally, FEG is now serving as the international distributor of a slate of content, including movies, series, specials and documentaries spanning various genres, from FOX's leading AVOD service, Tubi.
