Jason Kim Inks Overall Deal With 20th Television & Onyx Collective

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Barry writer-producer Jason Kim has signed a multi-year overall deal with 20th Television and Onyx Collective, under which he will develop television projects exclusively for both.

Kim is embarking on the 20th TV/Onyx deal after spending the bulk of his TV career to date at HBO, working on Girls, Divorce and, most recently, Barry, sharing in the show’s two Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy nominations, a WGA Award win and a PGA Award nomination.

His career has taken off beyond TV too, with his new musical KPOP, which he created and wrote the book for, set to make its Broadway debut next month, and him writing a Crazy Rich Asians spinoff movie centered around Astrid’s (Gemma Chan) romance with Charlie Wu (Harry Shum Jr.). “Jason has a penchant for bringing a pop sensibility to premium globally entertaining stories,” said Tara Duncan, President, Freeform & Onyx Collective. “His impeccable taste and sharp voice work well across various genres.

We’re excited he’s joining the ranks of our roster of prolific storytellers.” Added Karey Burke, President, 20th Television: “Jason is equally adept at delivering sophisticated comedy and dramatic stories, and is one of the most dynamic and savviest young voices in our industry.
