While we wait for his new horror movie Nope, coming July 2022, Jordan Peele has just inked a brand new television deal with Universal Studio Group, Deadline reports today.

Peele and Win Rosenfeld’s Monkeypaw Productions has entered a “new multi-year television overall deal” with Universal, coming off a previous TV pact with Amazon.

Deadline notes, “The new deal will cover Peele and Monkeypaw’s television development and production across Universal Studio Group divisions Universal Television and UCP.”

“The term ‘visionary’ is thrown around all too frequently in our business but in the case of Jordan Peele, it could not be more apt. He brings a clarity of purpose as well as cultural specificity to everything he does, and audiences worldwide have responded. I am truly honored that Jordan and his partner Win Rosenfeld have chosen our studio as their TV home for the foreseeable future,” said Pearlena Igbokwe, Chairman, Universal Studio Group.

“We are so excited to partner with Pearlena and the incredible team at USG to produce the future of Monkeypaw’s television slate,” says Monkeypaw president Win Rosenfeld. “Their expertise, creativity and collaborative spirit is an ideal match for our company. This opportunity to continue making dynamic, diverse programming, while deepening our relationship with NBCU, is truly thrilling.”

If any horror projects come out of this deal, we’ll of course keep you posted.

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, “Fallout” is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have…

“200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.”

The cast includes Ella Purnell (“Yellowjackets”), Kyle MacLachlan (“Twin Peaks”), Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more. All episodes of Season 1 are streaming on Prime Video.

The “Fallout” TV series comes from Amazon Studios, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Kilter Films, and Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
