Stephen Graham has inked a new deal with Disney<\/p>\n
The Adolescence star – who co-created the hit Netflix show with Jack Thorne – and his wife Hannah Walters’ Matriarch Productions has inked a two-year deal with the streaming platform, having already collaborated together on boxing drama A Thousand Blows.<\/p>\n
According to the streamer, the new deal will “span original scripted and unscripted series, bringing compelling British stories to audiences around the world”.<\/p>\n
Angela Jain – Head of Content for Disney+ EMEA – said in a statement: \u201cStephen and Hannah have proven they know how to tell bold, impactful stories and our vision also aligns with them around providing a platform for underrepresented voices in the UK. “Distinctive, local stories that entertain and resonate with audiences are what Disney+ are committed to championing, making Matriarch the perfect partners as we look to evolve our production slate in the UK.<\/p>\n
“This is a dream, and we\u2019re thrilled to continue working with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIn a joint statement, Stephen and Hannah – who have been married since 2008 – promised to continue working on “inspiring” and “entertaining” stories.<\/p>\n
\nThey added: “We are beyond thrilled to be working with Disney+ and through this creative partnership will strive to produce inspiring, entertaining and thought-provoking storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nStephen is on a career high after Adolescence – which starred Owen Cooper as teenage murder suspect Jamie Miller alongside the co-creator as his dad Eddie – won four prizes at the Golden Globes over the weekend.<\/p>\n
\nThe show as a whole was named Best Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Television Motion Picture, while Stephen won Best Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television, and co-star Erin Doherty – who played Briony Ariston – was recognised as Best Supporting Female Actor. <\/p>\n
\nOwen captured the Best Supporting Male Actor accolade, making him the youngest ever winner in the supporting TV categories.<\/p>\n
\nIn the Winners’ Room, Stephen was asked about the possibility of a second season, and told reporters: “I cannot answer that question because it\u2019s somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind and Jack\u2019s mind, and we\u2019ll pull it out in three or four years, so stay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n
