“We could not be more excited to extend our partnership with Greg Berlanti, a true giant in the television industry,” said Peter Roth, Warner Bros. television group president.
Berlanti’s deal comes as other giants in the television production business, including Shonda Rhimes and Ryan Murphy, have worked out lucrative deals with Netflix.
Berlanti made a name for himself in television as the showrunner on Dawson’s Creek at age 28.
His deal with Warner Bros. has him locked down through 2024.
