TUBI TO LAUNCH BBC'S COMING-OF-AGE SERIES "BOARDERS"

Produced by Studio Lambert In Association with All3Media International the Series will Make its North American & LATAM Debut Exclusively on Tubi

SAN FRANCISCO, January 24, 2024 - Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation's ad-supported video-on-demand service, announced today it will exclusively launch the BBC British coming-of-age dramedy BOARDERS in North America in a deal with All3Media International. Written by BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Daniel Lawrence Taylor the series follows the lives of five talented Black teenagers from inner-city London as they navigate life at an elite boarding school. BOARDERS is produced by Studio Lambert in association with All3Media International for the BBC, and will make its North American debut on Tubi in the first quarter of 2024.

"We're excited to be bringing BOARDERS to audiences in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and across LATAM as we continue to offer a variety of global programming at Tubi," said Sam Harowitz, VP of Content Acquisitions and Partnerships, Tubi. "At Tubi, we're dedicated to telling compelling stories from all over the world and we know our highly engaged viewers will love the world and characters that Daniel has created just as much as we do."

BOARDERS is a high energy, warm and funny coming of age drama which follows the lives of five Black inner city school teenagers who find themselves on scholarships to one of Britain's oldest and most prestigious boarding schools, St. Gilberts. The series will see these students navigate a new world, forming new friendships along the way while also going on journeys of self-discovery.

"I'm beyond excited that Tubi is bringing BOARDERS to North America," said Daniel Lawrence Taylor. "This is a quintessentially British coming of age school show with big universal themes of belonging, achievement, first crushes, forging friendships, and awkward sexual encounters that will hit home as hard for the North American audiences as much as it does for us Brits. It is jam packed with exciting new talent both in front of and behind the camera, and is filled with humour, pathos and straight up joy. I know the Tubi audience will love watching it as much as I loved creating it."

"Tubi is the ideal partner for this fantastic original comedy drama, and this agreement will ensure BOARDERS reaches a huge corner of the global market," commented Sally Habbershaw, EVP Americas at All3Media International. "BOARDERS showcases a wealth of brilliant new talent and brings to life a contemporary comedy of manners with a lot of heart."

BOARDERS was created and written by Daniel Lawrence Taylor, with Emma Dennis-Edwards, Yemi Oyefuwa and Ryan Calais Cameron writing episodes. The series is led by a cast of young rising talent including Josh Tedeku ("Supacell," "A Town Called Malice"), Jodie Campbell ("Bulletproof," "No Return") and Myles Kamwendo ("The School for Good and Evil"), alongside Sekou Diaby and Aruna Jalloh, both making their screen debuts. Daniel Lawrence Taylor will also appear on screen alongside Derek Riddell ("Happy Valley," "Gentleman Jack"), Niky Wardley ("Queen of Oz," "The Catherine Tate Show"), Harry Gilby ("Tolkien"), Tallulah Greive ("Our Ladies," "Cinderella"), Rosie Graham ("The School for Good and Evil," "Sanditon"), Georgina Sadler ("The A List") and Assa Kanoute, making her screen debut.

Directing the series are Ethosheia Hylton ("African Queens," "Sanditon") and Sarmad Masud ("You Don't Know Me," "Bulletproof"). Executive producers are Daniel Lawrence Taylor, and Madeleine Sinclair and Susan Hogg for Studio Lambert, and Nawfal Faizullah and Ayela Butt for the BBC.

BOARDERS will premiere on Tubi exclusively in North America and LATAM in the first quarter of 2024.
