Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson Pacts with Warner Bros. TV

Warner Bros. Television Group (WBTVG) has signed an overall deal with Emmy-nominated Abbott Elementary creator and executive producer Quinta Brunson, who also stars in the hit comedy.

Brunson is currently nominated for three Emmy Awards—outstanding comedy series, lead actress and writing—for her work on the first season of Abbott Elementary, which received a total of seven nominations.

The exclusive multiyear agreement makes WBTVG Brunson’s studio home for new TV productions. This marks Brunson’s first overall pact with Warner Bros. or any studio.

Under the partnership, Brunson will continue to serve as executive producer, writer and star of Abbott Elementary. She developed the acclaimed hit comedy at Warner Bros. Television, which produces the show in association with 20th Television.

Brunson will also create, develop and produce original programming for all platforms, including but not limited to Warner Bros. Discovery’s HBO Max, external streaming platforms, cable channels and the U.S. broadcast networks.

Brunson said: “I’m excited to expand my long-running creative partnership with Warner Bros. With Abbott as our anchor, I look forward to what we’ll create next.”

Warner Bros. Television Group’s chairman, Channing Dungey, said: “Quinta Brunson is a tour de force and a powerhouse talent, and we are beyond thrilled to be continuing our partnership with her through this new overall deal. What Quinta and her Abbott Elementary team have achieved in the first season is just extraordinary. We cannot wait for season two and to explore many future projects with her in the coming years. I’m so grateful that Quinta is part of our WBTV family, and I look forward to many more years of successful collaboration.”
