Amazon Studios has signed an overall deal with Fleabag and Killing Eve creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Waller-Bridge will create and produce new television content for Amazon Studios that will premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories.
The announcement comes after Fleabag won six 2019 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, with Waller-Bridge winning both Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series.
“I’m insanely excited to be continuing my relationship with Amazon. Working with the team on Fleabag was the creative partnership dreams are made of. It really feels like home. I can’t wait to get going!” said Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
“We are thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Phoebe at Amazon Studios! As evident in her great success at the Emmy Awards this week, she is clever, brilliant, generous and a virtuoso on multiple fronts including writing, acting and producing,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios. “Fleabag has been a gift to our Prime Video customers and we are excited for what comes next from this brilliant mind to dazzle and delight our global audience.”
Waller-Bridge is represented by UTA, Hatton McEwan Penford, Independent Talent and Ziffren Law.
