After making several headlines with ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck, JLo has decided to land in the news by means of a massive multi-year production deal with the streaming giant.
Jennifer Lopez in collaboration with her production company, Nuyorican Productions, has signed a multi-year first-look contract with Netflix, which will include feature films, TV shows, and unscripted programming.
It’s been said that there would be a special emphasis on programs that include and empower diverse female actors, writers, and creators.
J.Lo, said of the new deal: “I am excited to announce my new partnership with Netflix. Elaine, Benny and I believe there is no better home for us than a forward-leaning content creation company that seeks to defy conventional wisdom and directly market to the millions across the globe who no longer view art and entertainment with the kind of boundaries and limitations of the past. We at Nuyorican Productions are thrilled to find like-minded partners in Ted Sarandos, Scott Stuber, Bela Bajaria and the whole team and look forward to getting to work right away.”
Head of Global Films at Netflix, Scott Stuber also added: “Throughout every aspect of her career, Jennifer Lopez has been a force in entertainment. In partnering with her and Nuyorican we know she will continue to bring impactful stories, joy and inspiration to audiences around the world.”
Netflix Head of Global TV Bela Bajaria also said of JLo’s signage: “Jennifer is a singular talent whose creativity and vision have captivated audiences and inspired the next generation around the world. For years she and the team at Nuyorican have brought a distinctive voice to entertainment, and I’m looking forward to working with her and the team to create new series for our members to love.”
The new deal comes ahead of Lopez’s incoming films ‘The Mother’ and ‘The Cipher’ on the streamer. She’s previously worked on projects with NBC for her acclaimed Tv series ‘Shades of Blue’ and her ‘Hustlers’ movie which went on to win the multi-hyphenate a Golden Globe nomination.
Congratulations to Jlo on her latest endeavour and we can’t wait to see what the pair come up with.
