Mom co-creator Gemma Baker is on the move.

Following an eight-season run on CBS and Warner Bros. TV’s Mom, Baker has inked a multiple-year overall deal with Universal Television.



Under the pact, Baker will create and develop new projects for broadcast and streaming platforms. The deal will reunite Baker with Susan Rovner, the former Warner Bros. TV top exec-turned-head of originals for all of NBCUniversal’s entertainment portfolio.

“Gemma is a highly sought-after writer with immense talent, an excellent reputation and a wonderful sense of humor, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome her to Universal Television,” said Erin Underhill, the recently installed president of UTV. “Her knack for blending comedic wit with real emotion results in deeply satisfying and memorable stories audiences of all ages can enjoy, relate to, and laugh with. We can’t wait to jump in and build a slate together, have some fun and make a little noise.”
