Courtney Kemp, the creator of the hit Starz series ‘Power,’ signed an eight-figure four-year deal with Netflix. Kemp will create new series and develop programming for a global audience.
“I am incredibly excited to join the Netflix family and to continue to develop the kind of entertainment that End of Episode is known for — diverse, multilingual, watercooler, social-media fueled series that pack a serious punch,” Kemp said. “I am looking forward to working with Bela and her team, who really appreciate the voice and perspective that we bring to the table.”
Kemp will continue to create for ‘Power’ and will remain an executive producer.
The award-winning producer signed a three-year deal with Lionsgate/Starz in 2018.
Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s Head of Global TV, is happy to be working with Kemp.
“Courtney is the real deal — a creative force and world-builder who makes great shows,” Bajaria said. “I really admire her clarity of vision and voice, and she has a great sense for what audiences want. Courtney has accomplished something really rare and extraordinary in television, and we are thrilled to welcome her to Netflix.”
Kemp, a former journalist, has written for ‘The Bernie Mac Show,’ ‘Justice,’ and ‘The Good Wife.’
