"Nicole is a force of nature as both an actress and a producer," said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios, in Deadline's report. "She understands the focus of bringing addictive, entertaining and compelling television to our Prime Video customers as well as movies that will connect with film audiences. Stay tuned for many exciting projects to come in the very near future!"
Amazon has been actively pursuing first-look deals with top talent across film and TV--they recently closed a television deal with Get Out's Jordan Peele.
"You'll see that anyone that I make a deal with, for the most part, has one thing in common," Salke also told Deadline. "They all want to break out and be original. They want a cultural impact, and they want to be entertaining."
