Jamie Foxx Inks Multi-Year Partnership With Fox Entertainment for Scripted and Unscripted Projects

Jamie Foxx has inked a multi-year deal with Fox Entertainment, giving the network first-look rights to scripted television material from Foxx’s Foxxhole Productions banner, and exclusive rights to his projects and producing services in the unscripted space.

Foxx already has a slate of scripted and unscripted projects in progress and will begin developing them with Fox Entertainment immediately. The agreement builds on Foxx’s long-standing relationship with the network — he currently hosts the music game show “Beat Shazam” alongside his daughter Corinne Foxx, and he executive produces the police procedural “Alert: Missing Persons Unit.”

“We are ready and excited to kick-start this very promising new creative partnership with Jamie as we build on FOX’s longtime association with him — initiated by our CEO Rob Wade and network president Michael Thorn,” said Fernando Szew, president of Fox Entertainment Studios. “Jamie is a renowned multifaceted talent, so as a studio, we want to support his tremendous creativity with access to the full scope of our genres, formats and brands. Together we will deliver unexpected, unforgettable content to audiences everywhere. At Fox Entertainment Studios we are expanding our reach and portfolio, and this is a keystone creative partnership as we build.”
