Fox Entertainment Studios
Fox Entertainment Studios is the in-house scripted and unscripted production arm of Fox Entertainment, building a cross-platform IP library through high-profile filmmaker and publisher partnerships.
Current mandate
Fox Entertainment Studios (FES) functions as the central production engine inside Fox Entertainment, housing the company's in-house scripted and unscripted studio divisions alongside Bento Box Entertainment, TMZ, Tideline Entertainment, and Studio Ramsay Global. Its mandate is explicitly cross-platform: FES is building what executives describe as an "adaptable, enduring library" of IP that can travel across television, film, audio, digital, and publishing. That philosophy distinguishes FES from a conventional broadcast studio arm and positions it as a vertically integrated content developer rather than a single-format producer.
Recent activity underscores that ambition. FES has greenlit "Katie Greaves" (working title), a legal drama produced in partnership with Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions, centered on a female lead attorney navigating personal tragedy while fighting for overlooked clients. The company also formalized a first-look agreement with Taraji P. Henson's TPH Entertainment, adding a high-profile talent shingle to its development roster. Most structurally significant is a "strategic reciprocal" first-look development deal with HarperCollins Productions and its Avon A imprint: FES will develop series, films, and TV movies from Avon A titles, while Avon A gains the right to publish adaptations based on FES originals. The teams are already deep into inaugural slate planning, with a formal announcement expected. On the international front, FES is actively pitching UK commissioners and other international buyers for its 2027 holiday slate, applying the same commercial pitch framework used for US broadcast.
Material reaches FES primarily through established filmmaker partnerships and talent-shingle first-look deals, as evidenced by the Scott Free Productions co-commission and the TPH Entertainment agreement. The HarperCollins Productions alliance creates an additional pipeline through which book-to-screen adaptations can enter development. No unsolicited pathway is documented in tracked deal activity; every observed project has arrived via a named production partner, a talent shingle, or a publishing co-development arrangement.

Common questions about Fox Entertainment Studios
Does Fox Entertainment Studios accept unsolicited scripts?
No unsolicited pathway is documented in tracked deal activity at Fox Entertainment Studios. Every observed project has arrived through a named filmmaker partnership, a talent shingle first-look deal (such as TPH Entertainment), or a co-development arrangement with a production partner like Scott Free Productions or HarperCollins Productions. Writers without representation or an established producer attachment are not observed reaching FES directly through any tracked route.
How does Fox Entertainment Studios attach to or develop projects?
FES develops projects through first-look deals with talent shingles and filmmaker partnerships, as seen with Taraji P. Henson's TPH Entertainment and Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions. The HarperCollins Productions alliance adds a book-to-screen pipeline: FES will develop series, films, and TV movies from Avon A titles, while Avon A can publish adaptations of FES originals. Co-production with HarperCollins Productions executives serving as non-writing producers is also part of the model.
What is Fox Entertainment Studios currently producing or developing?
The most recent greenlit project is Katie Greaves (working title), a legal drama co-produced with Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions, centered on a female lead attorney dealing with personal tragedy while advocating for overlooked clients. FES is also deep into inaugural slate planning under its reciprocal deal with HarperCollins Productions and Avon A, with a formal announcement expected. Internationally, FES is actively developing projects targeting its 2027 holiday slate for UK and other international commissioners.
Who are the key creative leaders at Fox Entertainment Studios?
FES tracks 38 decision makers across its divisions, though specific executive names are not surfaced in current public deal data. The studio houses Fox Entertainment's scripted and unscripted divisions alongside Bento Box Entertainment, TMZ, Tideline Entertainment, and Studio Ramsay Global. The HarperCollins Productions deal involves HarperCollins Productions executives serving as non-writing producers on co-produced projects, indicating a collaborative leadership structure across the partnership.
How do I get my project in front of Fox Entertainment Studios?
Based on observed deal patterns, the most viable routes are through a talent shingle or filmmaker with an existing first-look relationship at FES, through a literary agent or publisher connected to the HarperCollins Productions and Avon A pipeline, or through a production partner already attached to the FES roster. Representation by an agency or management company with FES relationships is the most consistently documented pathway. No open submission portal or fellowship program is documented.
Is Fox Entertainment Studios currently active?
Yes. FES recorded a greenlit commission as recently as September 2026 (Katie Greaves, with Scott Free Productions) and is actively pursuing international commissions for its 2027 holiday slate, targeting UK buyers. The HarperCollins Productions and Avon A first-look deal is in active development, with inaugural slate announcements expected. The company logged 47 total records in the past 12 months and has a documented first-look deal with Taraji P. Henson's TPH Entertainment finalized in late 2025.
