Pop
star-actor
Jennifer
Lopez's
production
company
has
inked
a
multi-year
first-look
deal
with
video
streaming
platform
Netflix.
According
to
The
Hollywood
Reporter,
Lopez's
Nuyorican
Productions
will
create
feature
films,
TV
series
and
unscripted
content,
supporting
diverse
female
actors,
writers
and
filmmakers.
The
Hustlers
star,
who
co-runs
the
banner
with
production
partner
Elaine
Goldsmith-Thomas,
is
already
working
on
two
Netflix
features
--
The
Mother
and
The
Cipher.
“I
am
excited
to
announce
my
new
partnership
with
Netflix.
Elaine,
Benny
and
I
believe
there
is
no
better
home
for
us
than
a
forward-leaning
content
creation
company
that
seeks
to
defy
conventional
wisdom
and
directly
market
to
the
millions
across
the
globe
who
no
longer
view
art
and
entertainment
with
the
kind
of
boundaries
and
limitations
of
the
past,”
she
said.
Scott
Stuber,
Netflix’s
head
of
global
films,
said
they
are
looking
forward
to
showcase
"impactful" stories
in
collaboration
with
Lopez.
“Throughout
every
aspect
of
her
career,
Jennifer
Lopez
has
been
a
force
in
entertainment.
In
partnering
with
her
and
Nuyorican,
we
know
she
will
continue
to
bring
impactful
stories,
joy
and
inspiration
to
audiences
around
the
world," he
said.
Lopez
will
start
shooting
for
Niki
Caro-directed
The
Mother
later
this
year.
The
film
is
scheduled
to
release
in
2022.
