GLOVER REPORTEDLY SIGNS WITH AMAZON STUDIOS

Donald Glover has reportedly signed an eight-figure, multiyear deal with Amazon Studios. The multi-talented star is said to have left Disney-owned FX — home to his series Atlanta — for the new deal, with one of his first projects for Amazon being Hive, a series from Watchmen's Janine Nabers about a Beyoncé-like figure. According to Variety, Malia Obama — the daughter of former U.S. president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle — has joined the writers' room for that project. Glover's brother Stephen has also inked a deal with Amazon Studios, multiple outlets reported, while Amazon declined to comment on the news. Apparently, Glover's work will also feature on an Amazon Prime Video content portal. News of the Amazon deal comes just days after it was confirmed Glover would be starring opposite Phoebe Waller-Bridge in a TV reboot of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as a married couple who worked as assassins was released in 2005.
