“The parties have also agreed not to make any additional comments about the terms of the settlement. Leftfield and Fox News hope to work together in the future,” the statement continued.
The breach of contract suit, filed by Leftfield in June, claimed that Fox Business, which is owned by Fox News Network, failed to pay the production company despite ordering 26 episodes of a new reality series based on a family that runs lucrative estate sales.
