NETFLIX SIGNS MULTI-PICTURE DEAL WITH JENNIFER GARNER

Netflix has continued its collaboration with Jennifer Garner by initiating a film and production partnership. “I first worked with Jen on The Kingdom 14 years ago and consider myself very lucky to still be in business with her today,”  Scott Stuber, Head of Global Film, said. “As an actor, she's proven herself to be incredibly versatile in unforgettable roles spanning fast-paced action, heartfelt comedies, and thought-provoking dramas.”

The platform will work alongside the actress to continue to work together through a new partnership across multiple new films for her to star in and produce several titles. “Having known Scott for fifteen years, there is a reason his relationships in the business stand the test of time,” Garner said. ”He is as true blue as he is smart and intuitive about filmmaking. Reed, Ted, and Scott have built a safe, collaborative home for storytellers.”

The deal derives from the streamer's relationship with Garner who starred in and produced "Yes Day," family comedy also starring Edgar Ramirez and Jenna Ortega. The film received over 62 million households as viewers within the first four weeks and is Netflix’s biggest Kids & Family film release. As one of the films under the deal, a sequel to the fan-favorite is currently in development with Garner set to produce and reprise her role as “Allison Torres”. “She approaches every aspect of her work with such detail and preparation, which makes her an extremely valuable partner and producer,”  Stuber said. “We look forward to celebrating another 'YES DAY' with Jen and collaborating on many other exciting projects."

Aside from the agreement, Garner will next star in the sci-fi film “The Adam Project” alongside Ryan Reynolds, Zoe Saldana, and Mark Ruffalo and is also set to star in and produce the comedy film “Family Leave” inspired by New York Times Bestselling author Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s book “Bedtime For Mommy.”
