Fox Entertainment has inked its first overall deal with a TV creator since becoming an independent company without a major studio affiliate.creator Jeff Davis has signed a multi-year, broadcast-only deal with Fox, under which he'll develop scripted dramas for the network. Fox Entertainment will own any shows that come from the deal, the first such pact since Fox separated from former studio partner 20th Century Fox TV in the $71.3 billion Disney transaction.
Disney's absorption of 20th TV and other 21st Century Fox assets left the Fox network without a major studio partner. Fox Entertainment is co-producing all of the network's first-year series alongside other studios, and it also has "content development accelerator" SideCar, headed by former network chief Gail Berman, that will feed programming to the network and other platforms.
Davis' deal, however, is exclusive to the broadcast network, a rarity in a time when media conglomerates are launching their own streaming platforms and looking for content to feed them. “Jeff is a singular talent with a unique voice. His ability to create an incredibly wide range of shows — from character-driven procedurals like — is what makes this deal so significant," said Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn.
