From Variety

Issa Rae is taking her talents to Paramount.

The multi-hyphenate has set a three-year first-look film and television producing deal at the studio, which commences this month. Rae’s previously had an eight-figure overall pact at WarnerMedia, where she set shows including “A Black Lady Sketch Show,” “Rap Sh!t” and “Sweet Life.”

“I’m so looking forward to starting this next chapter with the incredible team at Paramount to tell stories for and by the diverse communities that have supported my work over the years,” Rae said in a statement.
