TUBI SETS NEW ORIGINALS FOR 2024-2025

PURPLE CARPET WITH OLIVIA CULPO AT THE SUPER BOWL IN NEW ORLEANS

NEW MOVIE "THE QB BAD BOY & ME" BASED ON WATTPAD YA NOVEL STARRING SIENA AGUDONG AND NOAH BECK

GENERATIONAL COMEDY "THE Z-SUITE" STARRING AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY LAUREN GRAHAM

SAN FRANCISCO, MAY 13, 2024: Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation's (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced several upcoming projects for the 2024-2025 season. According to the March 2024 Nielsen Gauge, Tubi grew its share of US total view time over 60% since debuting on the list just over a year ago, a faster growth rate than any other streamer. With nearly 80 million monthly active users, over 60% of Tubi viewers are cord cutters and nevers.

"Tubi is committed to culturally relevant storytelling that speaks to the cordless generation," said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. "From culture driven pre-game coverage for the Big Game, to a fan favorite movie based on a breakout YA novel, to the amazing Lauren Graham headlining a workplace comedy steeped in generational conflict, Tubi's '24-'25 slate is as compelling for our audience as it is desirable for advertisers."

Tubi's Purple Carpet will be rolled out for the first time as part of FOX's Super Bowl Pregame coverage in New Orleans. Renowned model and actress Olivia Culpo will be Tubi's official correspondent for the Purple Carpet, celebrating the culture surrounding football's biggest event. By blending the excitement of the Super Bowl with the allure of fashion and celebrity, Olivia's coverage will offer insights that cater to those drawn to the cultural phenomena of it all.

"I'm so excited to be Tubi's official correspondent at the Super Bowl," said Olivia Culpo. "I'll cover everything happening behind the scenes, the pre-game hype, and, of course, the fashion."

A Tubi Original movie, THE QB BAD BOY AND ME is based on the breakout Wattpad YA novel, The QB Bad Boy and Me, which has over 31M reads. The movie stars Siena Agudong (Netflix's "Resident Evil" series), Noah Beck in his feature film debut, and Drew Ray Tanner ("Riverdale"). The film tells the story of Dallas (Agudong), a burdened but headstrong dancer, who is determined to get into the best dance school in the country - her late mother's alma mater. However, that dream is suddenly derailed when the cheeky yet secretly grieving football star, Drayton (Beck), crashes into her life with a unique story of his own. Will the two of them be able to grow into their dreams together or will their dreams be sidelined? The film is directed by Justin Wu (Syfy's "Reginald the Vampire," CBC's "Kim's Convenience") from the screenplay by Mary Gulino (Amazon's "Upload") and Crystal Ferreiro (Disney's "Diary of a Future President") based on the book by Tay Marley. THE QB BAD BOY AND ME is produced by Adam Wescott, McKenna Marshall, Wattpad WEBTOON Studios' Aron Levitz, and Lindsey Ramey. David Madden is executive producing for Wattpad WEBTOON Studios, and Lindsay Macadam, David Way and Tony Chung are executive producing for Thunderbird Entertainment's Great Pacific Media, which will finance and produce the project in Canada. Blue Fox Entertainment will sell the project internationally. The film is slated to premiere within the next year.

"Tay Marley's novel has been a Wattpad sensation with millions of readers around the world who fell in love with this special coming of age romance," said Aron Levitz, President of Wattpad WEBTOON Studios. "We couldn't have asked for a better partner in Tubi to help us adapt this story, and we can't wait for fans to see just how perfectly Noah and Siena bring the beloved characters of Drayton and Dallas to life."

As previously announced, Tubi will premiere the generational comedy THE Z-SUITE starring Lauren Graham in 2025. Written by Katie O'Brien ("The Santa Clauses," "Teachers") who also serves as showrunner, the series is executive produced by Lance Samuels, Samantha Levine, and Daniel Iron of Blue Ice Pictures ("Ginny & Georgia"), and Eric Wattenberg, Gary Vaynerchuk and Matt Higgins of VaynerWatt. Lauren Graham also serves as an executive producer. THE Z-SUITE is a workplace comedy set at a boutique New York ad agency where generational divides see the established C-Suite and rising Gen Z employees collide. After a company decision spirals out of control, the agency's reigning executives are pushed out and the Z-Suite employees are suddenly put in charge, ultimately testing both generations' skills and patience.

"When I first read the script for THE Z-SUITE I responded to Katie O'Brien's fresh and funny take on the workplace," said Lauren Graham. "The character of Monica is smart, strong, and appealingly a bit unhinged. I'm excited to work with the team at Tubi as they ramp up their Originals slate and continue their ascent in the streaming space."

Since launching Tubi Originals in June 2021, Tubi has produced over 200 titles reaching over 75 million unique viewers. Last month alone, nearly 25% of its viewers watched Tubi Originals, which included the first set of premium programming targeted at young audiences - BOARDERS, BIG MOOD and DEAD HOT. Tubi most recently announced Stubios, the first fan-fueled studio for aspiring filmmakers in partnership with Issa Rae and ColorCreative. Tubi's upcoming slate of programming reflects culture and is designed for fandom such as MY CRAZY QUINCE, a reality series hosted by comedienne Anjelah Johnson-Reyes featuring generations of women discussing their own quinceañeras; the return of female-led cult favorite WYNONNA EARP with a special event; and the dark western film THE THICKET starring Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis.
