Euphoria creator Sam Levinson is on the move.
Levinson has struck an overall television deal with Amazon MGM Studios. He will develop and produce series for Prime Video and the studio as part of the pact, which also includes executive producing services for his Tiny Goat Productions partner, and wife, Ashley Levinson.
Levinson previously had a deal with HBO, where all of his television work has aired.
The move comes after the end of Euphoria, the teen drama that starred Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney and Colman Domingo. He revealed the series would end after its third season, which premiered earlier this year and came after a four-year gap from season two.
Levinson got his start writing black comedy action film Operation: Endgame, starring Ellen Barkin, before directing Another Happy Day and getting a writing credit on his father Barry Levinson’s HBO movie The Wizard of Lies.
Euphoria launched in 2019 and became a much-talked about series for the network, which is now owned by Skydance. He followed it up with two movies: Assassination Nation and Malcolm & Marie, starring Zendaya and John David Washington.
After that, he exec produced HBO miniseries Irma Vep before writing and directing The Idol, the pop star vehicle starring The Weeknd.
“Sam Levinson is one of the most daring and original voices in television today, with a fearless commitment to authentic storytelling that resonates with audiences around the world,” said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. “We’re thrilled to welcome Sam and Ashley and to give them the creative freedom and global platform to develop their projects.”
“Peter and his team have inspired us from our very first conversation,” added Levinson. “Ashley and I are grateful for their trust, and we can’t wait to get to work and deliver for audiences around the world.”
