Actress-singer Hilary Duff, who gained fame on Disney Channel’s “Lizzie McGuire,” has signed an exclusive, one-year talent and development deal with NBC.
Ms. Duff will star in her own series under the partnership, which also allows her to guest star or appear in multiple story arcs in various current NBC series.
“Hilary is an incredibly versatile talent with a huge following whose career we know will continue to soar on NBC,” said NBC Entertainment Executive VP Teri Weinberg in a statement. “We are confident we will develop great ideas that would feature her vast talents and are thrilled to have this opportunity.”
Universal Media Studios is set to produce any series project to which Ms. Duff is ultimately attached.
