Why Disney decided to go with 20th Television instead of the more aesthetically matching “20th Century Television,” we may never know. The news comes after Disney enacted a similar name change for 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight Pictures film studios earlier this year, although those slightly more sensible renames simply dropped the “Fox” to become 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures. Existing episodes on streaming and digital libraries will continue to bear the original logos. New logos and end cards will appear on TV shows this fall, including on episodes of The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, and Bob’s Burgers. Disney is also using the rebranding to merge ABC Studios and its subsidiary ABC Signature under the ABC Signature banner. FoxNext Destinations will further lead the development of location-based entertainment business with the success of the 2017 THEA award winner Springfield, USA and 2008 THEA award winner The Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando, Avatar: Discover Pandora, a new interactive exhibition inspired by the breathtaking environments and inspirational cultures of Pandora, and the development of the 20th Century Fox World theme park in Malaysia.Disney’s recently acquired 20th Century Fox TV studio is the latest to have the “Fox” name dropped, with the company announcing today that it’ll be rebranding the studio to just 20th Television, as part of a larger rebrand for all of Disney’s TV studios.Īdditionally, Fox 21 Television Studios is getting renamed to Touchstone Television (a TV brand that Disney stopped using in 2007), as the company works to remove the last traces of the Fox name from its assets. FoxNext VR Studio is in development on Alien and Planet of the Apes VR experiences. A AAA PC/console game set In the world of Avatar is in development with Massive Entertainment, a Ubisoft Studio. Aftershock, a division of FoxNext Games, has a number of projects in development, including an all new mobile game based on the expansive Marvel Universe and a massively multiplayer mobile strategy game for James Cameron's Avatar franchise. Fox has a successful track record of creating critically acclaimed games, including The Simpsons: Tapped Out, Angry Birds Rio, Alien: Isolation, Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff, Ice Age Adventures, and Sugar Smash: Book of Life. The division consists of FoxNext Games, FoxNext VR Studio and FoxNext Destinations. FoxNext is driving immersive, next generation entertainment experiences in the areas of augmented and virtual reality, mobile, console/PC games and location-based entertainment across Twentieth Century Fox Film and Fox Networks Group.
