EXCLUSIVE: Tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios launched his video podcast series Good Trouble last year with guests including Gordon Ramsay and Mike Tyson.
The series, which was produced by Naomi Osaka’s company Hana Kuma, launched on YouTube.
It is now returning for a second season and a new home. The talk show will premiere on Tubi on December 22. It will be available on the Fox-owned streamer in the U.S., Canada, UK and Australia and season one will also be available.
It forms part of a distribution deal between Tubi and Uninterrupted, LeBron James’ company that is now part of Fulwell Entertainment. The first project that was part of that pact was Naomi Osaka: The Second Set documentary. The deal was brokered by Hana Kuma’s Matt DeMartis and Tubi’s Ian Nelson.
The second season will be produced by Hana Kuma and Sony’s Embassy Row. It will feature conversations between Kyrgios and the likes of Aryna Sabalenka, Blake Griffin, Hasan Minhaj, Bear Grylls, Jason Derulo and Bill Ackman.

“I’ve had the opportunity to sit down with some of the most interesting people in the world,” said Kyrgios. “I learn something new after interviewing each one of them.”
“We’re thrilled to continue our collaboration with Uninterrupted and Hana Kuma on Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios, said Sam Harowitz, SVP of Partnerships and Acquisitions, Tubi. “Nick’s ability to connect, challenge norms, and engage across generations makes Good Trouble a perfect fit for our audience as we continue to build a programming slate at Tubi that lives at the intersection of sports and culture.”
“Good Trouble reflects Uninterrupted’s commitment to athlete-driven storytelling and our continued focus on partnering with like-minded companies that share this mission, such as Hana Kuma. After multiple projects with the team, we value this partnership and are thrilled to extend the partnership to include Nick Kyrgios, who we feel embodies that spirit by pushing culture within tennis and creating space for authentic, unfiltered conversations,” added Elyse Kellogg, VP at Uninterrupted.
