TUBI RE-ENROLLS FOR SECOND SEASON OF THE BBC'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED COMING-OF-AGE SERIES "BOARDERS"

Produced by Studio Lambert In Association with All3Media International, the Upcoming Season will see Tubi as Co-Producer with BBC

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 2024 - Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation's (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced that it will once again be the exclusive home in North America and LATAM for the BBC's critically acclaimed coming-of-age series BOARDERS, when it returns for a second season. The six-episode second season of the comedy-drama will be a co-production between Tubi and the BBC, and will be produced by Studio Lambert, part of All3Media, in association with All3Media International for the BBC.

The first season of BOARDERS was Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 100% rating. Written by BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Daniel Lawrence Taylor, BOARDERS follows the lives of five talented Black teenagers from inner-city London as they navigate life at an elite boarding school. As previously announced by the BBC, the second season will see a new era for the students at St Gilbert's. With the headmaster who brought them on now suspended following a school rebellion, the acting headmistress has made her intentions clear- she wants them gone. The first season focused on the five outsiders as they begin to thrive in this new boarding school environment and the second season will test them in how much they're willing to sacrifice to survive.

"With such an incredible response from our viewers and critics alike after premiering the first season on Tubi- we are thrilled to be back in session with BOARDERS," said Sam Harowitz, Senior Vice President of Content Acquisitions and Partnerships, Tubi. "Our belief in Daniel Lawrence Taylor's compelling storytelling and the show's phenomenal cast is underscored by our commitment to come on board as a co-producer this season as we continue to bring our audiences relevant and authentic stories that appeal to young and diverse viewers."

"We were overwhelmed by the response to Boarders series one when it launched on TUBI in North America and Latam - to have received the feedback from critics and American viewers alike was fantastic," said writer, creator and executive producer, Daniel Lawrence Taylor. "As you can imagine, we're excited to be back at St Gilberts and on set with what I hope will be every bit as funny, thought provoking and as well received as the first series. We're delighted to be working with the team at TUBI again."

Returning for the second season, Josh Tedeku (Jaheim), Jodie Campbell (Leah), Sekou Diaby (Toby), Myles Kamwendo (Omar) and Aruna Jalloh (Femi) will all reprise their roles, alongside writer and creator Daniel Lawrence Taylor as their mentor Gus. Returning cast also includes Harry Gilby (Rupert), Tallulah Greive (Beatrix), Rosie Graham (Florence), Assa Kanouté (Abby), and Niky Wardley (Carol Watlington-Geese) with more to be announced.

BOARDERS is created by Daniel Lawrence Taylor, who serves as lead writer with Yemi Oyefuwa, Jeffrey Aidoo and Racheal Ofori writing additional episodes. The series is produced by Studio Lambert, part of All3Media. It is directed by Joelle Mae David and Sarmad Masud with Ali MacPhail returning as the producer and Carleen Beadle-Larcombe as line producer. Mykaell Riley will also return as Musical Director. Executive producers are Daniel Lawrence Taylor, Madeleine Sinclair and Susan Hogg for Studio Lambert, and Nawfal Faizullah and Katherine Bond for the BBC.

Creative Director, Scripted and Executive Producer for Studio Lambert, Madeleine Sinclair, says: "Working with TUBI for season one elevated the reach of our BOARDERS cast to a wide and loyal audience. Daniel's fantastic scripts are sure to continue to delight TUBI audiences in this second season - his blend of comedy and drama together with our talented cast once again make it irresistible viewing and we can't wait to share it with you."

The first season of BOARDERS is available to stream in full now in North America on Tubi and in the UK on BBC iPlayer. All3Media International is the global partner for the series.

With nearly 80 million monthly active users, Tubi has emerged as the fastest growing U.S. streaming service since its debut on the Nielsen Gauge just over a year ago. Tubi once again tied Disney+ in total viewing time according to Nielsen's The Gauge Report in June and continues its position as the #1 AVOD player. More than 25% of Tubi viewers watch Tubi Originals, including the first set of premium programming that premiered earlier this year- BOARDERS, BIG MOOD and DEAD HOT - which is reflective of the service's fastest growing segment of young and diverse viewers.
