FOX Entertainment and Hulu have inked a new multiyear content partnership agreement that encompasses in-season streaming rights for FOX’s slate and a multiplatform marketing alliance.
Under the terms of the agreement, all FOX prime-time programming will continue to stream on Hulu the day after its linear broadcast. This includes series such as 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Lone Star and The Resident.
The agreement also allows Hulu to stream animated series from Disney Television Studios the day after, such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers and The Great North and a variety of unscripted shows from FOX Alternative Entertainment, including The Masked Singer, I Can See Your Voice, Name That Tune and Domino Masters, as well as the Studio Ramsay Global series Next Level Chef and Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars. FOX Entertainment Studios’ comedies Animal Control, HouseBroken, Krapopolis and Grimsburg will also be available for streaming the day after their broadcast.
Other FOX programming includes the dramas The Cleaning Lady, Alert: Missing Persons Unit and Accused; the comedies Call Me Kat and Welcome to Flatch; and the unscripted series Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, LEGO Masters, MasterChef, MasterChef Junior, Hell’s Kitchen, Beat Shazam and Farmer Wants a Wife.
This deal follows the program output deal FOX and Hulu inked last February, which allowed Hulu to stream all out-of-season episodes of key FOX unscripted and animated programs.
Under the terms of the new agreement, FOX and Hulu branding will also jointly share presence across all FOX-owned and external marketing touchpoints to align live and on-demand viewing messaging of FOX content.
“Our long-standing, valued partnership with Hulu consistently generates impressive results and creates an important pathway for our scripted, unscripted and animated series to maximize viewer reach,” said Rob Wade, CEO of FOX Entertainment. “Under this new deal, FOX solidifies its longer-term streaming strategy, while harnessing the power and strength of both Hulu and FOX to better serve our audiences and bring visibility to premium content across our streaming and linear platforms.”
“Continuing to be the next-day streaming home for current FOX hits, along with out-of-season episodes of well-loved FOX titles, reinforces Hulu’s unique position in the streaming space as the only SVOD service to carry next-day series from multiple broadcast networks,” said Joe Earley, president of Hulu. “FOX has always been a great partner, but now Rob and his teams are leveling up our relationship with their new marketing commitments, helping viewers understand where they can watch all of these shows.”
