FOX ENTERTAINMENT GLOBAL ACCELERATES WORLDWIDE EXPANSION OF HIT SURVIVAL FORMAT "EXTRACTED" WITH NEW MALAYSIA PRODUCTION HUB

Hi-Tech Facility in Malaysian Jungle Offers International Licensees a Faster, More Efficient Path to Producing Localized Versions of FOX's Popular U.S. Format

FOX to Highlight New Hub as Part of MIPCOM CANNES Showcase

Qualifying Productions Benefit From Up to 30% in Malaysian Tax Incentives

Los Angeles, CA - October 11, 2026 - Following the breakout success of FOX's hit survival competition series Extracted, which has attracted more than 45 million viewers across its first two seasons, FOX Entertainment Global today announced the debut of its new, turnkey production hub in the wilds of Lake Kenyir, Malaysia with its jaguars, pythons, and treacherous terrain. The modern, hi-tech facility - which FOX will introduce to international buyers during client briefings at this week's MIPCOM CANNES - is set to unlock a faster, more efficient, and cost-effective model for licensees around the world to adapt and produce localized versions of the hugely popular format. The new hub, where Season Three of FOX's U.S. network series just wrapped, combines one of the world's most dramatic natural survival environments with a specialized, state-of-the-art production ecosystem designed specifically for international format licensees.

Purpose-built around the needs of FOX's hit series and subsequent international adaptations, the Malaysia hub dramatically reduces the time, complexity, and cost traditionally associated with launching a premium, large-scale survival competition. A permanent headquarters and sets, experienced local crews, established production workflows, and scalable production models allow buyers to step directly into a production that's already been built, tested, and proven. Rather than spending months recreating the world of Extracted, format licensees can dramatically reduce pre-production time and cost and instead focus on casting compelling local personalities and telling stories that resonate with their own audiences, while FOX Entertainment Global provides the production foundation vital to the series' success.

"Extracted has all the ingredients of a universally resonant format: a powerful premise, stunning visuals, unforgettable family dynamics, and incredibly high stakes," said Prentiss Fraser, President, FOX Entertainment Global. "The infrastructure we've built in this Malaysia hub accelerates the series' international expansion, offering licensees the infrastructure and expertise to create their own versions more efficiently, while delivering the scale and intensity that make the show so compelling."

Located in the breathtaking wilderness of Lake Kenyir, the hub creates an environment that feels truly untamed while remaining remarkably accessible for international productions, including regional airports and transportation, accommodations, and medical services. Malaysia's experienced English-speaking crews, centralized global access, and attractive tax incentives of up to 30% on qualifying production spend, make it as compelling commercially as it is creatively. In addition, licensees can access significant tax incentives in neighboring Australia on qualifying post-production expenditures there.

Behind the scenes, Extracted's Malaysian production operation deploys more cameras than the Super Bowl, capturing every decision, every survival challenge, and every emotional family moment at a cinematic scale that has become synonymous with the franchise. Combined with permanent standing infrastructure, the result is a production ecosystem unlike any other in unscripted television.

Extracted challenges ordinary people to survive alone in an unforgiving wilderness with no training, no supplies, and no contact with the outside world. Watching every moment from a remote headquarters are their loved ones, who ultimately decide whether to let them continue or press the ever-present "EXTRACT" button, ending both the contestant's journey and their family's chance at the grand prize. Since its debut, the series has reached more than 45 million viewers and established itself as one of FOX's signature unscripted franchises. The original format combines survival, strategy, and the ultimate test of family dynamics by placing contestants' fate - for better or worse -- in the hands of the people who love them most.
