This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman inks a megadeal with Disney's 20th Century Fox TV

The Hollywood Reporter

Fogelman's five-year deal is said to be worth nine figures. According to The Hollywood Reporter's Lesley Goldberg, Fogelman, "who was drawing interest from multiple other outlets, is the first producer to land one of the increasingly common mega-deals at 20th Century Fox TV as competition for top producers continues to reach new eye-popping levels. Sources note that a revival of Fox's baseball drama Pitch — canceled after one season on the network — remains on the table (possibly for Disney+) as 20th TV pulled out all the stops to ensure Fogelman remained with the studio as other top producers — like (Ryan) Murphy and Howard Gordon — departed for lucrative deals elsewhere."
