Fox Orders Presentation For ‘The Kumars’ Revival & Script From ‘Workin’ Moms’ Duo In International Content Strategy Expansion To Comedy
Fox has ordered a presentation for multi-cam comedy Meet The Kumars, a sequel to the 2001 BBC series as part of its international content expansion.
The two commissions are part of Fox’s international content expansion, which involves developing and producing scripted series with local creators and studios in English-language territories, currently Canada and the UK and ultimately Australia as well. Fox handed the first series greenlight under the international content strategy in December to Canadian psychological crime drama Murder in a Small Town, starring Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk, which the network is co-producing and has the U.S. rights to for a 2024-25 launch. “Even though that series was made several years ago, the approach to a multi-cam and a talk show, this hybrid format, it’s wildly original,” Thorn said, adding that the acclaimed comedy still “feels fresh and funny and topical.”
