Jennifer Lopez and her production banner, Nuyorican Productions, has signed a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix. Lopez along with producing partners Benny Medina and president of Nuyorican Productions Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, will produce film and television content, both scripted and unscripted showcasing diverse female actors, writers and filmmakers.

Lopez already has two feature projects in the works with Netflix including The Mother directed by Niki Caro, and The Cipher, based on the Isabel Ojeda Maldonado novel. The Mother follows a deadly female assassin who comes out of hiding to teach her daughter how to survive. Lopez is currently training for her role in The Mother with production set to begin in the fall and a scheduled release in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Cipher centers on FBI Special Agent Nina Guerrera, who finds herself drawn into a serial killer’s case after he strategically posts complex codes and riddles online. Liza Fleissig, Ginger Harris-Dontzin, Catherine Hagedorn and Maldonado will executive produce, and Courtney Baxter will serve as associate producer.

“I am excited to announce my new partnership with Netflix. Elaine, Benny and I believe there is no better home for us than a forward-leaning content creation company that seeks to defy conventional wisdom and directly market to the millions across the globe who no longer view art and entertainment with the kind of boundaries and limitations of the past,” Lopez said. “We at Nuyorican Productions are thrilled to find like-minded partners in Ted Sarandos, Scott Stuber, Bela Bajaria and the whole team and look forward to getting to work right away.”

“Throughout every aspect of her career, Jennifer Lopez has been a force in entertainment,” said Netflix’s head of global films, Scott Stuber, in a statement. “In partnering with her and Nuyorican we know she will continue to bring impactful stories, joy and inspiration to audiences around the world.”

Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s head of global TV, said Lopez as “a singular talent whose creativity and vision have captivated audiences and inspired the next generation around the world. For years, she and the team at Nuyorican have brought a distinctive voice to entertainment, and I’m looking forward to working with her and the team to create new series for our members to love.”

Lopez recently wrapped up Universal Pictures’ rom-com, Marry Me with Owen Wilson and Sarah Silverman. She have starred and produced in Hustlers.

Lopez is repped by CAA and Hirsch Wallerstein Hayum Matlof + Fishman.
