Monkeypaw’s Development Team Hit With Layoffs
Monkeypaw Productions has begun layoffs affecting its development team, multiple sources tell Deadline.
The layoffs have affected Christopher Rosati, Jamal M. Watson and Alex Kim, the company’s three Vice Presidents of Development and Production, as well as four to five junior staffers at the coordinator and assistant levels. Described by industry insiders as a highly methodical filmmaker who takes his time with development, Peele was originally set to unveil an untitled fourth feature, which remains a complete mystery, in December 2024. Monkeypaw’s upcoming Him follows a promising young football player (former college athlete Tyriq Withers) who is invited to train at the isolated compound of a dynasty team’s aging QB1 (Marlon Wayans), learning from him the kinds of sacrifice that greatness demands.
