FOX Creator Studios (FCS), a division of FOX Entertainment, is collaborating with Tom Segura on a slate of content that will be released on YMH Studios’ D2C platforms.
The partnership will leverage FOX Creator Studios’ production, advertising sales, and global distribution capabilities, and YMH Studios’ reach to deploy a slate of comedy content. The initial lineup begins production this year and includes a stand-up comedy showcase spotlighting established and emerging voices; a horror comedy animated series; and a live-action comedy series set in an airport bar.
YMH Studios is generating more than 500 million annual impressions across a network of 25 shows.
“Tom is a rare creative who has built an entire world around his voice and point of view,” said Billy Parks, head of FOX Creator Studios. “What he and YMH President Ryan T. Hall have done across stand-up, podcasts, and direct-to-consumer is incredibly forward-thinking, and we’re excited to partner with them to build on this foundation, bring even more of Tom’s original ideas to life, and share them with new and existing fans globally.”
“Comedy is what drives everything we do at YMH,” said Segura. “We’ve built a studio that lets us create, produce, and connect directly with fans, and FOX Creator Studios is the right partner to help us expand that. They bring the scale, infrastructure, and flexibility to take our ideas further, while letting us do what we do best.”
“We’ve grown YMH Studios into a prolific independent studio, and we got here by staying close to our audience, developing real talent, and owning what we create,” said Hall. “FOX Creator Studios lets us think bigger without losing any of that.”
