Renee Zellweger has signed a first-look deal with MGM Television, the studio announced on Monday.
Under the new two-year agreement, the Academy Award-winning actress and her producing partner, Carmella Casinelli, will develop new scripted projects for MGM TV through their newly formed banner The Big Picture Co. with an eye for Zellweger to potentially direct and star in those productions.
“Lindsay Sloane and I were introduced to Renée and Carmella via MGM’s Stacey Levin,” MGM’s president of Television Production and Development, Steve Stark, said. “We were very excited about the type of projects they were passionate about, so we decided to lock arms and do this together. On this 100th anniversary of United Artists, we are honored to welcome them to our studio’s long legacy of great storytelling.”
