Star Action (formerly known as Fox Action Movies) is a Middle Eastern pay television movie channel that centered towards broadcasting action-themed and horror-themed films that was launched in 2016.[1][2]
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. However, the Middle East and North Africa feed operated until 1 March 2024, when it was rebranded as Star Action, which adopted the name of one of multiplex Star Premium channels in Latin America that originally was used in 2021.[5]
