Following Netflix’s cancellation of Marvel’s Luke Cage two months ago, showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker has inked an overall deal with Amazon, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
From Notorious to Luke Cage, Cheo is a provocative, revolutionary storyteller, and we’re happy he’ll be creating those kinds of bold new series exclusively for Prime Video,” said Vernon Sanders, co-head of TV at Amazon.
Coker will develop and produce TV projects for the streamer through his Fighting 99th Entertainment banner.
Coker started out as a music journalist and co-wrote 2009’s Notorious before moving into television writing, including Southland, NCIS: Los Angeles, Almost Human, and Ray Donovan.
