Jamie Foxx has signed a multi-year deal with Fox Entertainment Studios, 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 will produce scripted and unscripted shows for the television network, including comedy, drama and animation.

The agreement builds on Foxx’s long-standing relationship with the network, as 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.” Foxx already has a slate of scripted and unscripted projects in progress and will begin developing them with Fox Entertainment Studios immediately.

Fernando Szew, president of Fox Entertainment Studios, said in a statement: “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. 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.”
