New Studio Advances Creator-Led Vision with Original Scripted and Unscripted Projects

Across Long-Form Formats and Short-Form Content Categories

Los Angeles, CA – June 18, 2026 – FOX Entertainment’s FOX Creator Studios (FCS) today unveiled its next wave of creator partnerships and original content, expanding the studio’s creator-led portfolio with a slate of new formats spanning long-form entertainment and short-form scripted and unscripted series.

Now joining the FCS roster, which already ranges from culinary icon Gordon Ramsay to renowned comedian Tom Segura, are popular creators including Josh Richards, Emelia Hartford, Speeed Co, Sorted Food, MyHealthyDish, Mad Realities, and Christina Richardson. Together, these seven exceptionally talented creators have a cumulative reach of over 65 million followers.

The announcement marks the next phase of FOX Creator Studios’ mission to partner with creators who have built meaningful audience relationships and scalable businesses around their unique point of view and differentiated creative lens. Under these new partnerships, FCS will help creators develop premium intellectual property, expand into new formats, and build enduring entertainment brands by leveraging FOX’s world class ad sales, brand partnership, global distribution, and production infrastructure.

The newly announced projects are already in active production and development, underscoring FCS’ creator-first model: identifying proven creators with engaged audiences, funding and supporting their ideas, and bringing those concepts to life across platforms while preserving the voice and vision that made them successful in the first place.

“FOX Creator Studios was built around a simple idea: the most exciting entertainment businesses today are being built directly around audience relationships,” said Billy Parks, Head of FOX Creator Studios. “We're partnering with creators who already understand their audience, already have momentum, and are building real businesses around their ideas. Our role is to help scale what's already working — whether that's through production, financing, advertising, distribution, brand partnerships or new formats — and help these creators build the next generation of global entertainment brands.”

Joining the FOX Creator Studios partnership roster are:



  • Josh Richards (42 million followers) – One of the most influential Gen Z creators and entrepreneurs in media today. Through his company CrossCheck Studios and business partner Chris Sawtelle, Richards has built a powerful and inspiring direct relationship with young audiences that encompasses acting, production, original content development, and philanthropy. FCS and Richards are partnering on Seasons Two and Three of Read the Room, the breakout sketch comedy series that generated more than 60 million views in just four weeks with its fast-paced blend of absurd comedy, surprise cameos, original music, and creator-driven storytelling. Season Two debuts in August.

Through her production company, Running Lean Productions, Hartford is expanding her creator business into premium original programming in partnership with FCS and producer Justin Killion of Bright Bay. Their first project, Hot Laps, is a celebrity interview and automotive series that pairs high-speed track driving with candid conversations featuring Hollywood stars, athletes, and cultural icons.

As guests navigate a tasting menu packed with hidden surprises, they'll need to bluff, accuse, and outwit one another to win the game. The Sorted Food partnership was part of the FCS launch announcement in January 2026, and now their first original series with the studio is in production. The creators behind Sorted Food are four childhood friends: Jamie Spafford, Barry Taylor, Mike Huttlestone, and Ben Ebbrell. Their mix of food expertise, friendship, and entertainment has built one of YouTube's most successful food brands.
