EMMY(R)-WINNING "HACKS" CO-CREATOR JEN STATSKY SIGNS OVERALL DEAL WITH WARNER BROS. TELEVISION GROUP
Warner Bros. Television Group (WBTVG) announced today that it has signed a new overall deal with Emmy(R)-winning Hacks co-creator Jen Statsky, after a highly competitive situation. This marks Statsky's first overall deal with the Studio.
Per company practice, financial terms were not disclosed. WBTVG can confirm it is an exclusive, multiyear agreement that makes the Studio the producing home for Statsky's new television projects.
Under terms of the pact, Statsky will develop original series through her First Thought Productions banner for all platforms, including Warner Bros. Discovery's HBO and Max, external streaming services, the U.S. broadcast networks, and more.
Prior to the WBTVG deal, Statsky co-created (with Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs) the multiple Emmy Award-winning Max Original comedy series Hacks, which has been renewed for a fourth season. Season three of Hacks is currently nominated for 17 Emmy Awards, with Statsky nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series and Writing for a Comedy Series (with Aniello & Downs).
The first season of Hacks earned Statsky and her fellow creators an Emmy Award for Writing for a Comedy Series. Hacks has been Emmy-nominated for Comedy Series and Writing for a Comedy Series in each of its three seasons. For her work on Hacks, Statsky also won three Writers Guild Awards, two AFI awards, the Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series, and the Peabody Award, and she was nominated for multiple Producers Guild Awards and The Humanitas Prize.
Before Hacks, Statsky worked on NBC's The Good Place throughout its four-season run and was nominated for two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series. Prior to that, she was a co-executive producer and writer on four seasons of Comedy Central's Broad City. Her previous writing credits also include NBC's Parks and Recreation, Netflix's Lady Dynamite, and Prime Video's Forever.
