Fox Buys Bento Box
FOX Entertainment has acquired Bento Box Entertainment.
The animation studio behind BOB'S BURGERS and two of FOX's upcoming series, DUNCANVILLE and THE GREAT NORTH, Bento Box will operate as a stand-alone entity under the FOX Entertainment banner and produce content for all platforms.
Its leadership team will remain in place, including co-founders Scott Greenberg (CEO) and Joel Kuwahara (President of Production), and senior executives Brett Coker (COO), Ben Jones (Creative Director), Craig Hartin (GM of Bento Box Atlanta), Janelle Momary (Supervising Producer) and Andi Raab (Supervising Producer).
The Bento Box acquisition marks another step in FOX Entertainment's strategy to build in-house capabilities to fuel its portfolio. In February, the company launched SideCar, a content development accelerator headed by Gail Berman, to incubate scripted and unscripted programming for both FOX and third-party platforms. In May, FOX Entertainment announced it is strengthening its unscripted programming capabilities by formally bringing unscripted production in-house with the new unit FOX Alternative Entertainment, including Season Two of FOX's hit program, THE MASKED SINGER.
