Tubi is launching a new ‘fan-fueled’ studio to cultivate the next generation of filmmakers


Tubi thinks its new filmmaking incubator program is the future of streaming.

The idea that would eventually become Stubios began a few years back when Parlapiano was still working at Tubi’s parent company Fox at a time when executives were keen on figuring out what the future of streaming — entertainment aimed at Gen Z, in particular — would look like. And while Fox’s executives felt like there simply weren’t enough new scripts coming across their desks, the creatives they spoke with made clear that the real issue isn’t a lack of original stories but rather financial barriers that make it daunting to begin one’s professional career. Inviting the public to share feedback about things like casting decisions feels like a daunting prospect in the age of coordinated review-bombing and online harassment campaigns targeting historically marginalized groups.
