Fox Launching ‘Extracted’ International Production Hub In Malaysia
Fox Entertainment Global is opening its first international production hub in Malaysia to help sell and produce local versions of its survival competition format, *Extracted*. The move could make it easier for international buyers to adapt the show by giving them ready-made sets, local crews and access to Malaysian tax incentives.
The hub is in the wilderness of Lake Kenyir and has a permanent headquarters and production sets; Fox says it has “more cameras than the Super Bowl”. *Extracted* has drawn 45 million viewers across its first two seasons and has been renewed for a third. The series, executive produced by Sylvester Stallone, puts contestants alone in the wilderness while their families watch remotely and decide whether to end their attempt.

Extracted is a survival competition format that places contestants alone in remote wilderness with minimal supplies whilst their families watch remotely. The unique element is that families control whether their relative continues in the competition, reversing the typical dynamic where contestants make their own decisions about quitting.
The show has found substantial audiences, drawing 45 million viewers across its first two seasons and securing renewal for a third. It is executive produced by Sylvester Stallone, underlining its status as a major entertainment property with international appeal.
Television formats are frequently adapted for different markets through localised productions featuring regional contestants and locations. Establishing dedicated production facilities can streamline this process by offering international buyers established infrastructure, experienced crews and physical sets rather than requiring them to build from scratch.
