Warner Bros. Television Group and Greg Berlanti have agreed upon an overall deal. “We’re beyond thrilled to continue our partnership with one of the most accomplished, celebrated, and compelling storytellers in the industry," Warner Bros. Television Group Chairman and CEO Channing Dungey said."Greg is a visionary, a pioneer, and a leader, but more than that, he’s a treasured member of the Warner Bros. family. Collaborating with Greg is a tremendous privilege, and we can’t wait to see what stories he and his team will bring to life in the coming years.”
Under the terms of the deal, Berlanti Productions will continue to develop new television programming to be produced by divisions of the Warner Bros. Television Group for all platforms, including Warner Bros. Discovery’s HBO Max, external streaming services, cable, and the broadcast networks. The exclusive multiyear agreement ensures that Berlanti Productions will remain based at Warner Bros. for its television operations into the year 2027. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The deal serves as a continuation of a collaboration between Berlanti Productions and WBTVG that dates back several years, and has been renewed overtime. Greg Berlanti has produced or created more than 40 shows in the last 20 years, with more than 1,300 hours of television under his belt. During the 2019–20 season, he had 20 shows on the air or in production at once, taking over five nights of the week over six different networks and streamers. His company, Berlanti Productions, currently has upwards of 15 shows on the air or shooting.
“Greg is a huge talent, and the impact of his prolific and powerful storytelling on Warner Bros. and audiences, and on our culture, is just ‘wow,'" David Zaslav, Chief Executive Officer of Warner Bros. Discovery, said. "He began his career with us, and we are incredibly fortunate that he will continue to build and grow our TV studio into the future.”
