EXCLUSIVE: Amazon MGM Studios has signed filmmaker and showrunner Mike Flanagan to an exclusive multi-year overall deal, under which he will develop and produce original series exclusively for the studio.
The collaboration with Flanagan’s Red Room Pictures banner extends the studio’s partnership with one of the most commercially successful genre storytellers. Deal comes after Flanagan recently wrapped production on the TV series adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie for Amazon, marking Flanagan’s first series under the new partnership.
Flanagan has written, directed, edited, and produced eight feature films, including Stephen King adaptations Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game, as well as Ouija: Origin of Evil, Hush, Before I Wake, Oculus, Absentia, and most recently, The Life of Chuck, which won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Flanagan is writing, directing and producing a new take on The Exorcist for Blumhouse and Universal Pictures.
In television, Flanagan has served as creator, writer, director, and showrunner of the genre series The Fall of the House of Usher, Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Midnight Club, and The Haunting of Hill House.
Flanagan is repped by WME and VanderKloot Law.
