Former NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt is returning to NBCUniversal as a producer through a first-look deal with Universal Television, according to Variety and Deadline. Under the agreement, Greenblatt’s production company, The Green Room, develops and produces television projects for Universal Television across multiple platforms. Both outlets report that Jon Wu remains in his role as head of filmed content for The Green Room. Deadline adds that Greenblatt’s return includes a first project for the deal: an adaptation titled “The Lies I Tell.” Deadline frames the deal as Greenblatt coming back to the company he previously led, noting his eight-year period away from NBCUniversal. Variety describes the arrangement primarily in terms of the development and production scope of The Green Room under the first-look terms. Together, the reports present a producer-side return for Greenblatt, with Universal Television serving as the development and production partner and The Green Room continuing its internal leadership structure.
