TUBI ACQUIRES "BIG MOOD" SERIES STARRING NICOLA COUGHLAN AND LYDIA WEST FOR APRIL PREMIERE

TUBI SET TO PREMIERE COMEDY SERIES BIG MOOD STARRING NICOLA COUGHLAN AND LYDIA WEST THIS APRIL

The Six-Episode Comedy Created by Camilla Whitehill, Directed by Rebecca Asher and Produced by Fremantle's Dancing Ledge Productions Will Premiere Exclusively on Tubi in The U.S. & Canada

SAN FRANCISCO, February 29, 2024 - Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation's ad-supported video-on-demand service, announced today it will launch the new comedy series BIG MOOD exclusively in the U.S. and Canada in April. Starring Nicola Coughlan ("Bridgerton," "Derry Girls") and Lydia West ("It's A Sin," "Inside Man") - the six-episode series is written and created by Camilla Whitehill, directed by Rebecca Asher ("Dead to Me," Brooklyn 99") and produced by Fremantle's Dancing Ledge Productions.

With real depth and big laughs, BIG MOOD is a vibrant and rebellious portrayal of female friendship when tested by the complexities of a serious mental illness. The series will explore the messy pitfalls and idiosyncrasies of navigating adulthood through wicked humor, ridiculous anecdotes, and unsettling truths.

"BIG MOOD is a powerful series that is unapologetically authentic," said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. "In the hands of creator Camilla Whitehill and director Rebecca Asher, Nicola and Lydia give beautifully painful and comedic portrayals that are rooted in truth. With the much welcomed addition of BIG MOOD to our slate of relevant comedies, Tubi is doubling down on content that appeals to our fastest growing segment of young and diverse viewers."

"I'm ecstatic that BIG MOOD will soon be arriving stateside with Tubi, although I'm also partially convinced it's a prank played by a cabal of my enemies, because it seems quite a lot too good to be true," said Camilla Whitehill. "I'm hoping America loves it, and that they name an airport after me, which is way more likely over there because they have more airports than us."

"We are thrilled to be working with Tubi to bring this fantastic, rebellious series to US and Canadian audiences," added Lisa Honig, Senior EVP Distribution North America at Fremantle. "Tubi has a huge viewership who without a doubt will fall in love with Camilla's raw, honest and funny writing, Nicola and Lydia's unbelievable chemistry and Rebecca's unique filmmaking talent. BIG MOOD will make you laugh and cry - it's the ultimate binge-watch and we can't wait for it to launch on Tubi."

Best friends Maggie and Eddie played by Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) and Lydia West (It's A Sin, Inside Man) have lived in each other's pockets for ten years, through thick, thin, and multiple challenging eyebrow trends. But with the rest of their lives looming, careers hanging in the balance, and Maggie's bipolar disorder making an unwelcome return to form, Eddie begins to question whether this friendship is really in their best interests. It's a pivotal point in both their lives, bringing to the surface those all-important questions - could sleeping with your former History teacher be the key to happiness? Is a basement Rat Hotel a functional alternative to pest control? How do you stop your new psychiatrist giving you worry dolls? With their twenties behind them, Maggie and Eddie's relationship faces the future - can it survive?

Joining the series' ensemble is Niamh Cusack ("The Virtues"), Eamon Farren ("The Witcher"), Luke Fetherston ("Flowers in the Attic: The Origin"), Kate Fleetwood ("Wheel of Time"), Rob Gilbert ("Big Boys"), Rebecca Lowman ("Prime Suspect"), Sally Phillips ("Veep"), Ukweli Roach ("Wolf") and Amalia Vitale ("Willow").

The series is executive produced by Lotte Beasley Mestriner ("The Young Offenders"), Laurence Bowen ("The Salisbury Poisonings," "The Responder") and Chris Carey ("Crossfire," "Wedding Season") for Dancing Ledge Productions and produced by Georgie Fallon ("The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies"). The casting director is Lauren Evans ("Sex Education"). BIG MOOD was commissioned for Channel 4 in the UK by Commissioning Editor, Laura Riseam.

Fremantle is handling global distribution for the series. The deal was brokered by Fremantle's Lisa Honig, Senior EVP Distribution North America with Sam Harowitz, VP of Acquisition and Partnerships at Tubi.
