Fox Entertainment Global has opened a dedicated production hub in Lake Kenyir, Malaysia, to support international licensees of the survival competition format Extracted. The site provides established sets and workflows for global partners, following the conclusion of season three production at the location.
Why it matters
The hub is designed to lower pre-production costs and reduce timelines for international licensees by providing local English-speaking crews, pre-built sets, and regional infrastructure. Access to these resources allows international partners to streamline complex production logistics for the survival-based format.
The survival series Extracted attracted over 45 million viewers during its first two seasons. Qualifying productions at the new facility can leverage Malaysian tax incentives of up to 30% on qualifying expenditures.

The establishment of this hub facilitates the production of international versions of Extracted, increasing the likelihood of localized content appearing in various global markets. Viewers can expect a consistent production standard as the format is licensed to more international broadcasters.
