*Ryan Coogler is bringing his television ambitions to Netflix.
The streaming platform has signed a multi-year creative partnership with Proximity Media Television, the production company founded by Coogler, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian. Under the agreement, Proximity Media will exclusively develop new television series for Netflix, per Tudum.
The deal marks a major expansion of Proximity’s television business as the company continues to build on a growing slate of scripted, animated, and documentary projects.
“We started Proximity Media with a simple goal: to tell event-driven stories that bring people in close proximity with often overlooked subjects,” Coogler, Zinzi Coogler, and Ohanian said in a joint statement. “As we continue to expand Proximity’s television business, we’re thrilled to partner with Netflix, a company that has consistently demonstrated its commitment to distinctive creators and original storytelling.”

The trio added that they look forward to bringing “a new generation of stories to audiences around the world.”
Netflix executives point to Proximity’s growing track record in television as a key factor behind the partnership.
“Proximity Media has built a remarkable reputation for championing visionary creators and producing stories that resonate deeply with audiences worldwide,” said Jinny Howe, Netflix’s head of scripted series for the United States and Canada.
Howe also praised the company’s television division for continuing to push creative boundaries and said Netflix is eager to collaborate on its next slate of projects.
Proximity Media Television has expanded rapidly in recent years. Its credits include Marvel’s “Ironheart,” the National Geographic docuseries “Hurricane Katrina: A Race Against Time,” and the animated Marvel series “Eyes of Wakanda.”
The company is also developing a new “The X-Files” series starring Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel, as well as a live-action adaptation of “Southern Bastards” featuring Kevin Bacon, Erin Kellyman, and Tim McGraw.
The announcement arrives during a strong period for Coogler. His latest film, “Sinners,” starring Michael B. Jordan, has generated more than $365 million worldwide and ranks as the highest-grossing original film of 2025.
While Netflix did not announce specific projects tied to the new agreement, the partnership gives the streamer exclusive access to future television series developed by one of Hollywood’s most successful creative teams.
