Fox and Hulu Extend Content Agreement
Fox Entertainment and Hulu Renew Multi-Year Content Distribution Agreement
Fox Entertainment and Hulu have renewed their multi-year content distribution agreement, extending the successful, expansive marketing alliance established in 2023. This partnership, valued at over $1.5 billion, will continue to shape the future of television.
Rob Wade, CEO of Fox Entertainment, praised the partnership with Disney Entertainment, stating, "We look forward to expanding our mutual growth and shaping the future of television." Hulu General Manager Lauren Tempest expressed similar excitement, saying, "We are thrilled to continue offering Fox's scripted, unscripted, and animated series to our subscribers."
The programming included in the deal features popular shows like "The Masked Singer," "The Floor," "Gordon Ramsay's Next-Level Chef," "Bob's Burgers," "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," "Animal Control," "Rescue: HI-Surf," and "Murder in a Small Town."
Under the terms of the agreement, Fox primetime entertainment programming will continue to stream on Hulu one day after airing on Fox. Hulu will also stream out-of-season episodes of key Fox unscripted programs. The agreement will keep in-season streaming rights for Fox's programming slate on Disney's Hulu streaming service for the next four years.
The production of shows like "The Simpsons" by Disney's 20th Television for Fox is not addressed in the new agreement. The deal does not specify any changes to the current streaming rights for Fox's programming slate on Disney's Hulu streaming service for the next four years. It also does not detail any new out-of-season streaming rights for Hulu beyond key Fox unscripted programs.
The collective marketing efforts of Fox Entertainment and Hulu have generated impressive results, helping viewers find the shows they want to watch. This partnership has cemented Hulu as the next-day streaming home for current Fox hits and out-of-season episodes of key Fox titles.
The new agreement between Fox Entertainment and Hulu will also help Disney boost subscribers and improve streaming profits by bundling Hulu with Disney+ and ESPN+. This renewed partnership is a significant step forward in the ever-evolving landscape of television and streaming.
