NETFLIX AND SUGAR23 ENTER INTO MULTI-YEAR FILM DEAL
12/10/2018
The deal represents a strengthening of Sugar's relationship with Netflix. Sugar has previously worked with Netflix on the series side on Maniac, The OA, and 13 Reasons Why.
Steven Soderbergh's The Laundromat will be the first film of this newly created deal
Current film projects in development outside of this newly created deal from Sugar at Netflix include Tell Me Everything, and Hummingbird Salamander.
Sugar23 has a first-look television deal with Anonymous Content.
Michael makes smart, bold choices and Netflix has already benefited from that on the series side, said Scott Stuber, head of Netflix's film group. His depth of relationships and eye for talent are unparalleled. We couldn't be more excited to be working together as we expand our film slate.
Netflix is the perfect partner for Sugar23 because they have demonstrated a willingness to take chances, and our company places tremendous value on creating bold content, says Michael Sugar. Ashley and I have had an extremely fulfilling experience with Netflix in the past, and I am confident that the sky is the limit for what we can accomplish with this new partnership. I could not be more excited to make daring, thought-provoking, zeitgeist-defining films with them.
