On the heels of signing on to executive produce for NBCUniversal, Iggy Azalea has also struck a deal with Universal Cable Productions and Wilshire Studios.
The deal counts as a first-look overall and entails Azalea working with both studios in order to create millennial focused content and programs that incorporate tolerance and social justice to empower that generation.
“Creating television that is reflective of my generation has always been an aspiration of mine,” Azalea said in a press release according to The Hollywood Reporter. “I am incredibly excited to start working on my ideas and am humbled that Universal Cable Productions and Wilshire Studios have given me this once-in-a-life time opportunity.”
“Iggy is a strong, passionate voice for her generation and has incredible creative instincts in all aspects of media,” the Executive VP of development at UCP and Wilshire Studios Dawn Olmstead said in the press release. “We already have projects in both the scripted and non-scripted areas. We are very excited to join forces with her.”
Azalea’s producing partner will be Patrick Hughes from Primary Wave Entertainment.
The “Team" rapper has certainly been busy, and is currently serving as a judge for The X Factor Australia, as well as serving as director for several of her music videos. The New Classic, released in 2014, also spawned her extraordinarily successful single “Fancy.”
She will also be part of a deal that allows her to executive produce for NBC Universal with her company Azalea Street, which she announced on Instagram in late July. This deal also involves creating original content, this time for NBCUniversal.
