Turns out the grass is greener up in Cupertino, at least figuratively and literally for Misha Green.<\/p>\n
The Lovecraft County<\/em> creator has signed an overall deal with tech titan Apple to create and develop small screen projects for streamer AppleTV+ worldwide.<\/p>\n The lucrative multi-year agreement for Green comes exactly one week after HBO axed an anticipated second season of the acclaimed Lovecraft Country<\/em>.<\/p>\n As Green made poignantly clear in a post-cancellation tweet, the sophomore season of the Jurnee Smollett, Jonathan Majors and Michael Kenneth Williams starring horror drama was already significantly planned out. Not long after Deadline’s July 2 exclusive reporting on the WarnerMedia-owned premium cabler deep sixing the series based on the 2016 novel by Matt Ruff, the Underground<\/em> co-creator even shared a geographical glimpse of the over 70-page bible that had been assembled for what was widely assumed to be a Season 2.<\/p>\n Described as an extremely “competitive situation” with a number of deep pocket suitors, Green’s alliance with Apple is the first overall deal for the filmmaker.<\/p>\n Not that Green isn’t already pretty busy on the big and small screen, even with the axing of more Lovecraft.<\/em> She is set to helm and pen a new Tomb Raider<\/em> flick, plus a Cleopatra Jones<\/em> revival and the Kate Wood written action vehicle picture Fuel<\/em>, which Green is EPing with Smollett, among other projects.<\/p>\n Still, the one-time home of iTunes will be a bit of getting the old band together with this new deal.<\/p>\n
