Brian K. Vaughan Inks Overall Deal with Legendary

Legendary Entertainment has secured a three-year overall deal with Brian K. Vaughan, a New York Times bestselling and award-winning comic book creator and TV and film writer.

Vaughan serves as an executive producer of the TV adaptation of Y: The Last Man and as an executive consultant of his comic book Runaways, currently in its second season on Hulu. Vaughan was nominated for an Emmy for his first work in television, as a writer on the hit series Lost.

Legendary will adapt several of his creator-owned comics as well as produce exclusive, original projects developed by Vaughan for film and TV across traditional and non-traditional platforms.

“Through truly inspired storytelling, Brian has created immersive, compelling worlds that are devoured by fans worldwide,” stated Nick Pepper, president of Legendary Television Studios. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Brian to bring his visions and extraordinary library of work to the screen.”

Vaughan added, “Legendary was instrumental in helping to revolutionize the way the world thought of ‘comic-book movies,’ so it’s a tremendous honor to work with them on adaptations of some of my and my talented collaborators’ past and current comics, and I’m looking forward to hopefully creating a few wholly original stories with them, as well.”
