History[edit]
On 18 April 2016, Fox Action Movies was launched by Fox Networks Group along with Fox Family Movies and FX channels in the Middle East market.[3][4]
On 1 October 2021, Fox Action Movies and 17 other Fox/Disney-owned channels across Southeast Asia ceased broadcasting. The last film to air was Big Freaking Rat.
