Jac Schaeffer Leaves Marvel for Exclusive Amazon MGM Deal
Writer and showrunner of WandaVision and Agatha All Along exits Marvel Studios for a three-year exclusive deal with Amazon MGM Studios to develop.
Key Points
- Schaeffer will develop, write, executive produce, and direct series for Prime Video.
- Launched Marvel's Disney+ era with acclaimed WandaVision starring Olsen and Bettany.
- Recent Agatha All Along success solidified her as top Marvel writer.
- Move to Amazon praised for its creative freedom amid Marvel's Avengers focus.
Jac Schaeffer, the writer and showrunner behind Marvel's *WandaVision* and *Agatha, ¿quién si no?*, has left Marvel Studios to join Amazon MGM Studios under an exclusive three-year deal.
Variety confirmed the move, noting that Schaeffer will develop, write, executive produce, and direct original series for Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios. No details have emerged about her first project with the company.
Schaeffer launched Marvel's Disney+ era with the critically acclaimed *WandaVision*, starring Elisabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. The series remains one of the franchise's strongest TV offerings. Her recent success with *Agatha, ¿quién si no?* further cemented her reputation as one of Marvel's most valued writers.
The departure represents a significant loss for Marvel, which is now focusing on its cinematic future. The Russo brothers are overseeing the Multiverse Saga's conclusion with upcoming *Avengers* films, while Disney+ prepares to launch the second season of *Daredevil: Born Again*. This will be followed by theatrical releases of *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* in July and *Avengers: Doomsday* in December.
Industry observers see Schaeffer's choice of Prime Video as logical, given the platform's reputation for granting creators substantial artistic freedom. Amazon has positioned itself as a major streaming contender under Jeff Bezos's influence.
