Darren Star Inks Big Overall Deal With Universal Television


After a decade at Paramount Global and predecessors ViacomCBS and Viacom, Darren Star is making a move with a big overall deal at NBCUniversal.

“Darren is a singular voice who has created signature shows for multiple networks and platforms since the beginning of his career, from the hills of Beverly to the streets of NYC to the Champs-Elysees,” Igbokwe said. Netflix’s Emily In Paris, produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, was one of two hits series Star created for Paramount, along with Younger, which ran on TV Land/Paramount+ for seven seasons. Star and Jeffrey Richman recently co-created the MTV Entertainment Studio-produced comedy Uncoupled, which was picked up by sibling Showtime after the series’ cancellation by Netflix after one season.
