Former WarnerMedia Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt has launched a new production company, The Green Room, and has set up shop at Lionsgate, where he will develop and produce TV projects under a new first-look deal

The Greenblatt deal was announced Tuesday by Lionsgate Television Group Chairman Kevin Beggs.

The deal is a major get for Lionsgate, given Greenblatt’s successful and prolific output over the years as both a producer and executive. Most recently at WarnerMedia Entertainment, early programming hits to come out of his oversight included the Emmy-nominated HBO Max series “Hacks,” “The Flight Attendant” and the heralded “Friends” reunion special.

“I’m proud to welcome Bob to the Lionsgate family,” said Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer. “During the more than 30 years I’ve known him, he has been associated with some of the most iconic television shows in history, and his creative talent relationships and instincts for great IP are second to none. He brings to our television business a major studio and world-class platform perspective that will help to continue driving our growth.

“After working with them on hits like ‘Weeds’ and ‘Nurse Jackie,’ this felt like the most fitting and entrepreneurial creative home for my next chapter,” Greenblatt said. “I’m awed by their tenacity and track record as visionaries who are passionate about our business… what I love about Lionsgate is that they are really an independent studio and they manage to set up significant projects all over town. I am also joining the company of some very distinguished producers.
