An Academy Award-winning actress who is also a director and producer has signed an exclusive multiyear first-look deal with Netflix. The streaming service announced the deal today with Regina King, whose production company Royal Ties will produce films and series for Netflix.

King won an Oscar this year for her supporting role in “If Beale Street Could Talk.” She also won a Golden Globe for the role, and is the winner of three Primetime Emmys — two for “American Crime” (in 2015 and 2016) and one for “Seven Seconds” in 2018.

“I am beyond thrilled to join the Netflix family,” King said. “They are at the top of their game and as an artist I am so excited to come play in this wonderful sandbox they have created for storytellers.”
