Quinta Brunson, creator, executive producer and star of ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” is signing a multi-year overall deal with Disney Television Studios’ 20th Television, according to Deadline and Variety. The new agreement is described as a five-year pact through Brunson’s company, Fifth Chance Productions. The outlets report that Brunson is exiting her previous overall deal with Warner Bros. Television, which was a four-year arrangement.
Under the new deal, Brunson and Fifth Chance Productions will develop, write and executive produce projects for Disney Entertainment Television’s brands and platforms. Both reports frame the move as a high-profile showrunner contract change, shifting Brunson’s production relationship from Warner Bros. Television to 20th Television.
No additional details on specific upcoming projects were provided in the cited accounts, beyond the company’s role in creating new content across Disney’s television ecosystem.
