Fox’s Tubi to play Ultimate Tag

Znak & Co’s Ultimate Tag airs on Fox in the US

Fox Entertainment has added its US physical competition reality series Ultimate Tag to its ad-supported free VoD service Tubi.

The sports entertainment series sees competitors vault, dodge and dive while being chased by resident taggers.

The first season of the show, which is produced by Znak & Co and Fox Alternative Entertainment, launched in the US on Fox at the height of lockdown in May and marked the highest-rated unscripted summer debut on the network in three years.

Ultimate Tag joins other Fox shows such as The Masked Singer and Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell & Back in Tubi’s library of 23,000-plus movies and TV shows, while another, Lego Masters, will be added later this year.

Natalka Znak, Conrad Green, Glenn Coomber and JJ Watt serve as executive producers of Ultimate Tag.

“Sports entertainment enthusiasts are sure to binge Ultimate Tag, with each episode showcasing a level of adrenaline-fueled action that keeps you on the edge of your seat,” said Adam Lewinson, Tubi’s chief content officer.

San Francisco-based Tubi, currently available in the US, Canada, Australia and Mexico, was acquired by Fox Entertainment earlier this year for about US$440m in cash.
