Fox and Endemol Shine North America are developing a scripted “Fear Factor” microdrama series for vertical viewing on Holywater Tech’s My Drama platform. The project adapts the established “Fear Factor” gross-out reality brand into a vertical, scripted format, marking what outlets describe as a shift from the franchise’s unscripted roots.
Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter both say the series will launch on My Drama, and note that Fox has an equity stake in the platform. Variety adds further context on the broader market trend, framing the deal as part of rapid growth in vertical media content that is drawing established entertainment properties into new formats.
Across coverage, outlets agree on the core partnership: Fox Entertainment Studios and Endemol Shine North America are producing the series, with the Holywater app serving as the distribution outlet. Details such as the series title and launch timing remain not yet finalized, with at least one source listing a date as to be announced.
