Megan Thee Stallion ventures into TV with a new Netflix deal

‘I can’t wait to bring all my ideas to life and for my Hotties to watch’

Alongside her chart-topping music career, Megan Thee Stallion recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in health administration from Texas Southern University. However, the Houston rapper is already looking to add another string to her bow, branching out into television.

More specifically, Megan has signed a first-look deal with Netflix, to create and executive produce content for the streaming platform. According to Variety, this will include television series’ as well as other projects.

“I’ve always had a passion for telling creative and entertaining stories, so I’m thrilled about this partnership with Netflix,” Megan says in a statement (December 16). “Venturing into production is the next step in my journey as an entrepreneur and I can’t wait to bring all my ideas to life and for my Hotties to watch.”

It’s currently unclear what these ideas will be, exactly, though a statement from Tracey Pakosta, head of comedy at Netflix, hints that it could be in the realm of comedy. 

“Megan is a multi-talented creative force who has consistently made her mark on culture,” says Pakosta. “She’s always growing and evolving as an artist, and we’re thrilled that she’s making a home at Netflix for this next chapter in her journey.”
