Oscar-winning actor and producer Jamie Foxx has signed a significant multiyear deal with FOX Entertainment Studios (FES) through his production company, Foxxhole Productions. This expands his long-standing relationship with FOX.
Here’s the Lowdown: The deal gives FOX first-look rights to Foxx’s scripted television projects (comedy, drama, and animation) and exclusive rights to his unscripted projects. Foxx will act as executive producer and content creator, with development already underway.
What This Means Now: Expect a wave of new shows, both scripted and unscripted, from Jamie Foxx and Foxxhole Productions, coming exclusively to FOX. This builds on Foxx’s existing FOX presence, which includes co-hosting Beat Shazam and executive producing Alert: Missing Persons Unit.
The Bigger Picture: This deal solidifies a decades-long partnership that started with Foxx’s breakout role on In Living Color (1991-1994) and continued with The Jamie Foxx Show. It’s a major move for both Foxx and FES, signaling FOX’s intent to expand its content offerings with a proven talent. Foxx’s diverse career – encompassing acting (with an Oscar for Ray), music (with Grammy wins), and television – makes him a valuable partner for the network.
