John Legend and his production company are moving to ABC Studios.
The actor, singer and EGOT winner, along with partners Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorius, has signed a three-year overall deal with ABC Studios via their Get Lifted Film Co. after a multiple-studio bidding war. They will develop scripted TV projects for all platforms exclusively for the Disney-owned studio.
"We here at Get Lifted Film Co. are thrilled to be working with ABC Studios and welcome the opportunity to tell remarkable stories that resonate with our growing audience," Jackson said Tuesday in a statement.
Added ABC Studios president Patrick Moran: "John Legend and his Get Lifted partners, Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorius, have a strong, contemporary point of view. Their enormous success is no surprise considering their excellent taste and ability to tell stories that are timely and unique."
