Touchstone Television has signed “The Old Guard” director Gina Prince-Bythewood and “Swagger” creator Reggie Rock Bythewood to a multiyear first-look deal, marking the Disney-owned studio’s first such pact since it was rebranded from Fox 21 Television Studios earlier this week.
Under the deal, the married duo will create television projects for broadcast and streaming platforms for Touchstone Television, a division of Disney Television Studios, through their Undisputed Cinema production company.
According to Touchstone, Prince-Bythewood and Bythewood’s “Undisputed Cinema produces timely and timeless character-driven stories aimed to challenge audiences’ perspectives in different ways. Undisputed Cinema’s stories show humanity on-screen and create deep connections driven to build empathy between their characters and their viewers.
