The new deal includes the production and development of dramas, comedies, documentaries, digital content, event projects, and longer-form projects across multiple platforms. That means we’ll be seeing more projects like A Wrinkle In Time, 13th, Selma and Queen Sugar on cable, premium cable, streaming platforms and more.

“Warner Bros is a terrific partner on matters of visibility + belonging for all kinds + cultures of people, which is our mission at Forward Movement,” she shared on Twitter. “Couldn’t be happier to call Warner Bros TV my production home. Thanks for the love and light, folks. Really appreciated.”

Congrats, Ava!
