Hall\u2019s deal also includes a fund to commission Black playwrights, all of whom will receive mentorship from the writer.<\/p>\n<p>Adapted from Hall\u2019s stage play <em>Pussy Valley<\/em>, <em>P-Valley<\/em> has been renewed for a second season.<\/p>\n<p>Hall said: \u201cAdapting my play from the stage to the screen was a decade-long odyssey, and I\u2019m so grateful that the journey led me to a studio that understands the value of complex storytelling centered on marginalized people of color. I\u2019m thrilled about this partnership with Lionsgate and I look forward to continuing to tell bold, impactful stories with the ability to reach a rich, diverse, global audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cIn this unprecedented moment, Black playwrights are particularly struggling\u2014so much so that I fear some will leave the art form forever. This would undoubtedly be a major loss. Without theatre, there would be no me. In fact, there would be no <em>P-Valley<\/em>. That\u2019s why I&#8217;ve partnered with Lionsgate on this initiative to help ensure that American Theater is more inclusive and diverse when the curtain rises again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott Herbst, Lionsgate\u2019s executive VP of television and head of development, added: \u201cWe\u2019re honored to partner with Katori, a storyteller just as passionate about and dedicated to creating great, powerful stories as we are. Everything she pens is an incredible work of art, and we\u2019re excited to collaborate on many more groundbreaking projects like <em>P-Valley<\/em> that cut through the clutter in today\u2019s television landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katori Hall, the creator, showrunner and executive producer of the Starz original series P-Valley, has signed an overall television deal with Lionsgate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":14210,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4224,211,4225,169],"class_list":["post-14209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-katori-hall","tag-lionsgate","tag-p-valley","tag-starz","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>P-Valley\u2019s Katori Hall Inks Overall Deal with Lionsgate - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/p-valleys-katori-hall-inks-overall-deal-with-lionsgate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"P-Valley\u2019s Katori Hall Inks Overall Deal with Lionsgate - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Katori Hall, the creator, showrunner and executive producer of the Starz original series P-Valley, has signed an overall television deal with Lionsgate.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/p-valleys-katori-hall-inks-overall-deal-with-lionsgate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-12-11T14:32:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-12-11T16:33:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/Katori-Hall-Photo-Credit-Diane-Zhao-1220.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"420\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/p-valleys-katori-hall-inks-overall-deal-with-lionsgate\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/p-valleys-katori-hall-inks-overall-deal-with-lionsgate\/\",\"name\":\"P-Valley\u2019s Katori Hall Inks Overall Deal with Lionsgate - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-12-11T14:32:52+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-12-11T16:33:04+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/p-valleys-katori-hall-inks-overall-deal-with-lionsgate\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/p-valleys-katori-hall-inks-overall-deal-with-lionsgate\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/p-valleys-katori-hall-inks-overall-deal-with-lionsgate\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"P-Valley\u2019s Katori Hall Inks Overall Deal with Lionsgate\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
