A three-time Emmy-winning actress has signed a groundbreaking $80 million overall deal with Apple TV+, the largest such agreement ever for a female performer in the streaming era. The multi-year pact gives her full creative control over development of new series, films, and documentaries for the platform.
The deal includes a commitment to produce at least four original series and two feature films, with the actress set to star in and executive produce the majority of the projects. Her production company will also receive first-look rights to literary adaptations and podcast-based content.
The agreement signals Apple's aggressive push to attract top-tier talent as the streaming wars intensify, and industry observers note it sets a new benchmark for performer-driven deals that will likely influence negotiations across the industry.
