Russell Simmons is returning to HBO!
TheHollywoodReporting is exclusively stating that music/TV producer Russell Simmons has inked a two-year first-look deal with the premium cable network, HBO.
Under the pact, Simmons will create and develop projects for the network.
In a nutshell, a ‘first-look’ deal means HBO has the right to say ‘yay OR nay’ on projects that Simmons proposes to develop. If the network is not interested/declines to back it, then @UncleRUSH can offer the project to other networks; but HBO gets the ‘first-look.’
RC will keep you posted ~ we all know Russell Simmons has the midas touch! He had major success with the Def Comedy Jam series, which ran from 1992-97 and 2006-08!
