Fox Nation To Produce Original Feature Films

Fox Nation, Fox News Media’s direct to consumer streaming service, is set to release its first original film, marking the platform’s entry into in-house movie production. On Thursday, Sept. 1, Fox Nation will premiere The Shell Collector, a feature film based on a bestselling title by author Nancy Naigle. Over the course of the next year, the streaming service will roll out three additional original films with the next release tied to the holiday season.

John Finley, executive vice president of development, said: “Since launching less than four years ago, Fox Nation has established itself as a go-to destination for lifestyle and entertainment programming. I’m thrilled to share our expansion into film production and Nancy Naigle’s The Shell Collector is the perfect fit for our first title.”

Produced in association with Cartel Pictures, Fox Nation’s The Shell Collector will star Caitlin Clark, Christopher Russell and Jennifer Higgin in a story about a widow, Amanda Whittier, with two children who befriends some interesting characters in her small seaside town as she looks to forge ahead with her new life following the death of her husband.

The Shell Collector is adapted from bestselling author Nancy Naigle.
