While we wait for his new horror movie Nope, coming July 2022, Jordan Peele has just inked a brand new television deal with Universal Studio Group, Deadline reports today.
Peele and Win Rosenfeld’s Monkeypaw Productions has entered a “new multi-year television overall deal” with Universal, coming off a previous TV pact with Amazon.
Deadline notes, “The new deal will cover Peele and Monkeypaw’s television development and production across Universal Studio Group divisions Universal Television and UCP.”
“The term ‘visionary’ is thrown around all too frequently in our business but in the case of Jordan Peele, it could not be more apt. He brings a clarity of purpose as well as cultural specificity to everything he does, and audiences worldwide have responded. I am truly honored that Jordan and his partner Win Rosenfeld have chosen our studio as their TV home for the foreseeable future,” said Pearlena Igbokwe, Chairman, Universal Studio Group.
“We are so excited to partner with Pearlena and the incredible team at USG to produce the future of Monkeypaw’s television slate,” says Monkeypaw president Win Rosenfeld. “Their expertise, creativity and collaborative spirit is an ideal match for our company. This opportunity to continue making dynamic, diverse programming, while deepening our relationship with NBCU, is truly thrilling.”
If any horror projects come out of this deal, we’ll of course keep you posted.
