Ava DuVernay Teams with Warner Brothers TV

Variety reports that Ava DuVernay has signed a deal with Warner Brothers Television.

DuVernay will develop and produce exclusive television content for Warner Bros.

"Ava DuVernay is one of the leading lights in our industry, a brilliantly talented writer, producer, director and entrepreneur whose ability to inspire with her art is exceeded only by her ability to entertain," said Warner Bros. Television chief Peter Roth. "We have had the great pleasure of working with her on QUEEN SUGAR and The Red Line, and we are extremely excited about the new stories she has to tell."

"I've had nothing but beautiful experiences working with Peter Roth, Susan Rovner and Brett Paul. They love and support artists in wonderful and nourishing ways," DuVernay said. "They work within a traditional studio headed by Kevin Tsujihara that is stirring with untraditional energy and fresh protocols for intentional, inclusive image-making. Warner Bros. is a terrific partner about matters of visibility and belonging for all kinds and cultures of people, which is our mission at Forward Movement. I couldn't be happier to call Warner Bros. TV my production home."
