Tubi to Begin Streaming Entire Season this Wednesday, November 25; FOX to Air Comedy’s First Two Episodes on Sunday, December 20
This holiday season, FOX Entertainment and its free ad-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) streaming platform, Tubi, will jointly encore FOX’s critically acclaimed comedy, THE MOODYS, starring and executive-produced by Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominees Denis Leary (“Rescue Me”) and Elizabeth Perkins (“Sharp Objects”).
Beginning this Wednesday, Nov. 25, Tubi will stream all six episodes of THE MOODYS’ freshman season, while FOX will air the program’s first two episodes on Sunday, Dec. 20, from 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT.
THE MOODYS marks FOX’s first scripted series to be made available on Tubi. The platform currently streams the network’s hit unscripted programs THE MASKED SINGER, I CAN SEE YOUR VOICE, LEGO MASTERS, GORDON RAMSAY’S 24 HOURS TO HELL AND BACK, BEAT SHAZAM and ULTIMATE TAG.
Recently renewed for a second season to premiere this coming spring, THE MOODYS follows a tight knit, but slightly dysfunctional, family through their misadventures. The family includes SEAN SR. (Leary), his wife, ANN (Perkins), and their three grown children – DAN (Francois Arnaud, “Midnight, Texas”), the youngest of the siblings and the “creative one”; BRIDGET (Chelsea Frei, “Sideswiped”), the middle sister and the “overachiever”; and SEAN JR. (Jay Baruchel, “Man Seeking Woman,” the “How to Train Your Dragon” franchise), the oldest sibling and “screw-up,” still living at home with his parents. THE MOODYS also features María Gabriela de Faría (“Deadly Class”), Josh Segarra (“Orange Is the New Black”), Kevin Bigley (“Here and Now”) and Gerry Dee (“Mr. D.”).
From CBS Studios and FOX Entertainment, THE MOODYS is written and executive-produced by Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg and Tad Quill. Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, Trent O’Donnell, Phil Lloyd and Jason Burrows serve as executive producers. Denis Leary and Elizabeth Perkins also serve as executive producers. THE MOODYS is adapted from the Australian series “A Moody Christmas.” THE MOODYS is based on the Jungleboys Entertainment Pty Limited and Australian Broadcasting Corporation series.
Earlier this year, FOX Entertainment and Leary entered a broadcast development deal, through which Leary will create, develop and produce comedy, drama and animated series for FOX Network through his new production entity, Amoeba. Leary may star in any new series he creates during the deal.
