Gravity Falls Creator Alex Hirsch Pacts with Netflix

Netflix has inked a multiyear overall deal with Alex Hirsch, creator of the Annie and BAFTA Award-winning animated show Gravity Falls.

Under the agreement, Hirsch will exclusively develop new series and features for the streaming service. “I couldn’t be more excited to join the amazing roster of talent coming to Netflix,” he said. “Plus it couldn’t hurt to be on The Algorithm’s good side before The Singularity hits. Awesome things are coming!”

“Alex is an imaginative storyteller with new ideas who’s quickly developed a reputation as a fresh new voice in animation,” added Cindy Holland, the VP of original content at Netflix. “We couldn’t be more excited to work with him as we continue expanding our adult animated slate.”
