Deadline understands that the deal is in the high seven figures across three years. Warner Bros beat out a number of other suitors for the agreement, which is understood to have closed just before the studio shut down production in March.
It comes as Wray’s previous overall deal with HBO expired at the end of last year. The new agreement will allow Wray to develop, write and produce for the premium cable network but will also broaden out the opportunities to include streaming service HBO Max as well as third-party networks and digital platforms.
The genre-agnostic writer is now building out her own TV slate with a range of female-focused projects. Elsewhere, on the features side, Wray has been busy setting up two films. She has written the script for a movie based on Jaime Lowe’s, the true story of a dozen female prisoners as they move from county jail to life in a Malibu fire camp. The film, which is produced by LuckyChap Entertainment, Automatik and Good Films, is now out to directors.
