In 2009, CBS Television Studios made a bet on an up-and-coming TV writer, Jennie Snyder Urman, who had staffed on a couple of shows. The bet paid off for both sides, with Urman becoming one of the most prolific showrunners on the studio roster, generating multiple series, the award-winning Jane the Virgin, the ongoing Charmed reboot, the underrated Emily Owens, MD and the upcoming Broke.
Now she has re-upped her overall deal with CBS TV Studios through 2025. The massive five-year pact is said to be one of the biggest at CBS TV Studios and well into the eight figures.
Under the new production agreement, Urman will continue to create and develop series for CBS TV Studios through Sutton Street Productions, the company she launched more than two years ago with longtime friend and veteran TV executive Joanna Klein.
