Entertainment One (eOne) has secured a multiyear overall TV first-look deal with StoryBy Entertainment, producers of such series as Freeform’s Stitchers.

Under the agreement, eOne will serve as the studio on StoryBy’s TV projects and will handle worldwide rights.

The company is behind the upcoming Toy Wars, based on the book by G. Wayne Miller, at Amazon.

Baruch commented: “We are extremely excited about our new partnership with eOne. They have a dynamic team of executives whom we’ve worked with successfully for years and the partnership felt like a natural fit for us.”

“We are thrilled to work with Howard, Michael, Jonathan, Rob and the team at StoryBy, whose diverse experience across the industry has put them at the forefront of author- and creator-driven projects,” said Pancho Mansfield, the president of global scripted programming at eOne Television. “With this new partnership, their relationships will enable us to access highly sought-after creative talent and IP in the earliest stages.”
