‘Power’ Showrunner Courtney Kemp Signs Netflix Deal

Courtney Kemp, the creator of the show ‘Power‘, has signed a multi-year deal with Netflix.

According to Deadline, the deal includes an eight-figure incentive to get Kemp on board. The deal means that Kemp will produce new shows for the platform through her company, End of Episode.

Kemp previously held deals with Starz and Lionsgate. The former allegedly made an offer for Kemp to re-sign, however Netflix tabled a more appealing option.

“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,” said Kemp. “I am looking forward to working with Bela and her team, who really appreciate the voice and perspective that we bring to the table.”

“Courtney is the real deal – a creative force and world-builder who makes great shows. I really admire her clarity  of vision and voice, and she has a great sense for what audiences want,” said Netflix’s Head of Global TV, Bela Bajaria.

“Courtney has accomplished something really rare and extraordinary in television and we are thrilled to welcome her to Netflix.”

As well as creating Power in 2014, Kemp has also written for shows including The Good Wife and Beauty & The Beast.
