GameOfThrones creators close $200M Netflix overall deal
The duo have signed what sources say is a $200 million multiple-year overall film and TV deal with Netflix. Under the pact, Benioff and Weiss will depart their longtime home at HBO and create and develop new film and TV projects for the streaming giant.
"We are thrilled to welcome master storytellers David Benioff and Dan Weiss to Netflix. They are a creative force and have delighted audiences worldwide with their epic storytelling. We can’t wait to see what their imaginations will bring to our members," Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said.
Added Benioff and Weiss in a joint statement: "We’ve had a beautiful run with HBO for more than a decade and we’re grateful to everyone there for always making us feel at home. Over the past few months we’ve spent many hours talking to Cindy Holland and Peter Friedlander, as well as Ted Sarandos and Scott Stuber. We remember the same shots from the same '80s movies; we love the same books; we’re excited about the same storytelling possibilities.
Benioff and Weiss, who created and served as showrunners on HBO's megahit, were in talks with Netflix, Disney and Amazon, and narrowed their new home after extensive talks with the company. Sources say Amazon Studios had been the front-runner until early July, when Netflix re-emerged with a competitive offer. Disney has also entered the conversation more recently, as some say the new super-sized Mouse House could be offering a TV deal with FX Productions to go alongside a film pact with the company.
