Janet Mock is on a high given the success of Pose, and her success is going to continue with her new lucrative deal with Netflix, as well as being the first Trans-woman to do so.
According to Variety, Mock’s Netflix deal is a three-year, multimillion-dollar agreement that gives the streaming service exclusive rights to her TV series, and a first-look option on feature film projects. Along with the deal, Mock will continue to be a writer-director on Pose. Another one of the projects Mock will serve on is being an executive producer and director on Ryan Murphy’s forthcoming Netflix series “Hollywood.”
“As a best-selling author, producer and director, Janet Mock has demonstrated she knows how to bring her vision to thrilling, vivid life,” Netflix VP of original content Cindy Holland says of Mock. “She’s a groundbreaker and creative force who we think will fit right in here at Netflix.”
“As someone who grew up in front of the TV screen, whether that was watching talk shows or family sitcoms or VHS films, I never thought that I would be embraced,” says Mock. “And more than embraced. Given not just a seat at the table but a table of my own making.”
