Chloé Zhao has had the kind of career most film directors would kill for, becoming only the second woman in history to win an Academy Award for Best Director for her film Nomadland, which also won for Best Picture. A year later, Marvel released The Eternals, her big budget adaptation of the title about godlike creatures walking the Earth.
And now, The Hollywood Reporter reports that she’s signed a multi-year first look deal with Searchlight Pictures for her own, unspecified TV series. A “first look deal” is one in which the studio gets first dibs on any TV idea that Zhao wants to develop. Searchlight is the company that produced Nomadland, and it’s owned by Disney, Marvel’s parent company, so it’s clear that the mini-major studio is interested in staying in the Chloé Zhao business.
