Big news from Jennifer Lopez: a multi-million-dollar deal

Good news for Jennifer Lopez fans: the actress just signed a long-term contract with Netflix. And apparently this is not just any contract, it is a multi-million dollar deal.

The well-known streaming platform has just announced that Nuyorican Productions, a company owned by Jennifer Lopez, is joining its select club of collaborators. JLo's company will be producing content exclusively for Netflix.

The agreement with Jennifer Lopez includes all types of formats, from scripted programs to other reality shows. Netflix says these projects will emphasize supporting actresses, screenwriters and various filmmakers.

The contract is said to involve a number with many, many zeros. Journalists from several media are convinced that the agreement of Jennifer Lopez and Netflix is a multimillion-dollar deal. While the exact figure is not out there, they say it is one of the juiciest deals in the current TV and streaming world.

As Vogue reports, "the duration or the remuneration that Nuyorican Productions will receive is not known," but "specialized US media claim that it is a multi-year contract worth millions of dollars."

Netflix has contracted Jennifer Lopez both as an actress and a producer. To give you an idea, there are already two projects well under way.

The first would be a film featuring Jennifer Lopez as the protagonist. The director is Niki Caro, who also made the live action movie 'Mulan'.

The film is called 'The Mother' and tells the story of a criminal who will come out of hiding to try to help her daughter survive. Typical for both the lead actress and the 'Mulan' director, this new project will centre on a strong and heroic woman.

The second of these two great projects will be the adaptation of the novel 'The Cipher' by Isabel Ojeda Maldonado.

In this case, Jennifer Lopez plays an FBI agent searching for a murderer.

The two films are in the production phase and could be ready for all Netflix users as of next 2022.

In addition to this great project with Netflix, Jennifer Lopez continues to work in Hollywood. She already has two other films waiting for release.

The first, 'Marry Me', is a romantic comedy directed by Kat Coiro and starring herself and Owen Wilson. This movie will also feature the singer Maluma, who will enter Hollywood fully with this film.

The second movie, 'Shotgun Wedding', promises to have a lot of action and a touch of comedy.

Jennifer Lopez will play a couple together with Josh Duhamel. They get kidnapped by criminals in a vacation resort.

The funny action movie will also feature veteran actress Jennifer Coolidge ('American Pie').

Both in cinemas and on Netflix these are years full of premieres with Jennifer Lopez at the helm.

There's also the news about JLo's alleged reviving romance with Ben Affleck. It's a positive story after she broke off her engagement with Alex Rodriguez earlier this year. Let's see how things go for her on both the personal and professional level.
