Brad Falchuk is joining his friend Ryan Murphy at Netflix. It has been announced that the streamer has signed Falchuk to a massive four-year overall deal. The exact amount hasn’t been officially disclosed by reports say that the deal is in the high eight figures.
Under the agreement, Falchuk will develop, write, produce and direct new series for Netflix through his Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision banner. As part of the deal, he also will continue to work on his existing shows with 20th TV/Fox 21, 9-1-1, Pose, American Horror Story, American Crime Story, as well as Netflix’s upcoming The Politician.
At Netflix, Falchuk plans to grow his Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision into a full-fledged production company with its own development team. Falchuk’s current overall deal with 20th Century TV is not up until June but Netflix engaged early and pursued him aggressively, much as they did with his frequent collaborator, Ryan Murphy. Along with Murphy, Falchuk joins a roster of A-list showrunners with big overall deals such as Shonda Rhimes and Kenya Barris.
With Murphy, Falchuk has co-created and executive produced such series and franchises as Fox’s young-skewing Glee and Scream Queens (alongside Ian Brennan) and current hit procedural 9-1-1(with Tim Minear), which was just renewed for a third season; FX’s venerable genre drama American Horror Story,now in its ninth season; and praised sophomore Pose (with Steven Canals); as well as Netflix’s The Politician (also with Brennan). Additionally, Falchuk serves as an executive producer on FX’s American Horror Story, sharing two outstanding limited series Emmy awards with Murphy and the rest of the team for the first two installments, People vs. O.J. Simpson and Versace.
