Danai Gurira stays winning.

The actress who is best known for her roles in Black Panther and The Walking just inked an overall deal with ABC Studios. Under the two-year agreement, the talented star will write, produce, and develop projects across all platforms.

“From Zimbabwe to Wakanda to Broadway, there is no one like Danai Gurira, Jonnie Davis, president, ABC Studios said in a statement. The scope of her talents and the breadth of her abilities are simply astonishing. We are over the moon that she has chosen to make ABC Studios her exclusive home.”

This won’t be the first time the actress is at the helm.
