Margot Robbie has signed a first-look television deal with Amazon through LuckyChap Entertainment. Through this new deal, Robbie and Amazon will produce television projects that will air exclusively on Amazon Prime.
“We are so thrilled to be partnering with Amazon Studios to bring original content to the ever-burgeoning television landscape,” Robbie said alongside Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara of LuckyChap Entertainment.
“Our hope with LuckyChap has always been to challenge narrative conformity whilst offering a platform to exciting and often over-looked voices. In Amazon, we have a cultural partner who shares our passion for storytelling and through its global reach allows us and our collaborators to reach as many viewers as possible. This is the start of a very exciting journey for the company and one that we are incredibly proud to be taking with the wonderful Amazon team.”
LuckyChap Entertainment has produced films such as I, Tonya starring Robbie. Moving forward, the group continues to work on films such as Promising Young Woman and Barbie. They also produce shows like Dollface on Hulu and Maid on Netflix.
“LuckyChap has produced sharply original, smart, and wholly engaging content over the past several years, across an incredible range of genres, and centering multifaceted, unique female characters,” Albert Chang of Amazon Studios said.
“We’ve very excited for the chance to work with Tom, Josey, Margot, and Brett to create new series with the same kind of vision and focus for our Prime Video customers.”
