LONDON, September 17, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced it will be premiering the highly anticipated sequel SIDELINED 2: INTERCEPTED in the UK this autumn, with fans able to stream the hugely successful original movie, SIDELINED: THE QB AND ME now exclusively for free on Tubi.
With its breakout stars Noah Beck and Siena Agudong reprising their leading roles, SIDELINED 2: INTERCEPTED will focus on freshman star quarterback Drayton (Beck) as he struggles with the weight of expectations after a devastating setback, while dancer Dallas (Agudong) begins to question the future she thought she wanted. As their high school relationship begins to unravel under the pressures of distance and self-discovery, they’ll learn that the bravest versions of themselves emerge when they let life redirect them.
The sequel will also see Charlie Gillespie (Julie and the Phantoms) and Roan Curtis (Firefly Lane) joining the cast, as well as James Van Der Beek (Pose) and Drew Ray Tanner (Riverdale) returning to their roles from the original film. Justin Wu will also direct the sequel, with Thunderbird Entertainment’s Great Pacific Media, Marshall Arts and WEBTOON Productions producing.
“Tubi’s SIDELINED: THE QB AND ME sparked an incredible wave of conversation among fans on social media, with Noah Beck and Siena Agudong’s performances striking a real chord with young audiences,” said Ross Appleton, General Manager, Tubi UK. “We’re thrilled to build on that excitement as we bring the original film and the upcoming sequel SIDELINED 2: INTERCEPTED to audiences in the UK.”
