Nahnatchka Khan has signed a lucrative four-year overall producing deal with Universal Television. Under the exclusive eight-figure pact, Khan will create, develop, write, supervise and produce series projects.
Universal TV landed Khan in a competitive situation. Khan is among a slew of A-list writer-producers who have been seeking overall deals in the past month or so, sparking bidding wars among traditional studios and Svod platforms that have sending prices through the roof. Because of the red-hot overall deal market, four-year pacts have now become the norm, which also is the case with the blockbuster new deal Sam Esmail just inked with Ucp.
Khan is coming off a series of overall deals at 20th Century TV where she had been for almost her entire career to date, with her tenure spanning the past decade and a half.
