J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Closes First-Look Film & TV Deal With Warner Bros.


J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot has closed a new two-year, first-look film and TV deal with Warner Bros., sources tell Deadline.

Three documentaries/docuseries, Charlie Hustle & The Matter of Pete Rose, Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes and Yankees Win, also debuted this summer. The TV marketplace is not where it used to be five years ago when Bad Robot’s previous WB pact was made, with overall deals down significantly in volume and price tags post-PeakTV on the heels of the pandemic and the double Hollywood strikes amid industry contraction and belt-tightening at the legacy media companies. On the film side, the company has a slew of projects in development, with its first movie under for Warner Bros. deal, F lowervale Street, slated for 2025 release.
