Emmy Award-winning*Game of Thrones*creators*David Benioff*and*D.B. Weiss*have found their new home. Nearly three months after*Deadline revealed that Benioff & Weiss*were being courted by six studios for an overall global deal to write, produce and direct new series and films, we can reveal that they have signed an exclusive deal with*Netflix.

Nobody was confirming numbers, but sources tell Deadline the deal is in the 9-figure range like some of the other mega-deals signed by show creators like Shonda Rhimes and Ryan Murphy, each of whom also moved to Netflix. The deal for Benioff & Weiss was brokered by*Gretchen Rush, their longtime attorney at Hansen Jacobson Teller.[/IMG]

I wouldn't hire anyone who was involved in making GOT if I was in charge of any studio.

Well, if you hire them to adapt an already written property, I think they'll be great. The early seasons of GoT we're fantastic. But if you want them to create something entirely on their own...

Alwayshappy · 08-08-2019, 09:31 AM

Good for them

Gacivory · 08-08-2019, 11:44 AM

Poor Netflix. This is their last goodbye!

Farerb · 08-08-2019, 01:18 PM

Another reason to unsubscribe from Netflix.

They owe the night king money. They did him and the army of the dead dirty.

It's hillarious to see people to be so pissed off because of how terrible the final season was for GoT yet GoT ignoring the final season everyone loved their work, just makes me laugh because of one season failure they suck at their job.

atomik kinder · 08-08-2019, 06:38 PM

Weren't they supposed to be developing a new Star Wars trilogy or something?

People got so butt hurt about a show about what would have happen if the South won the Civil War that they canceled it. People can't handle shows like that anymore. So the subject of anything about the confederacy is a no no in today's world.

A Sith Lord? · 08-08-2019, 08:57 PM

Weren't they going to make the Confederacy show because Amazon had Man in High Castle?

InuYashaCrusade · 08-08-2019, 10:26 PM

Netflix is desperate for whatever they can get their hands on now. Gotta compete with Disney somehow.

I thought they did a poor job since season 3. In fact it is funny that people credit them for GoT's success when in fact it should go to a really strong source material.

How many things are they going to be working on instead of making one good project?
