Overview

In 2012, Monkeypaw Productions released the comedy series Key & Peele on January 31, 2012 on Comedy Central.[3] When the series ended in 2015, Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key wrote the script for the comedy film Keanu which was released on April 29, 2016 by New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.

On May 3, 2017, Peele signed a two year, first-look deal with Universal Pictures. The deal involves Peele and his Monkeypaw production company to invest, produce and distribute genre films for Universal. The deal also includes Peele producing micro-budget films with Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions banner after their collaboration with Get Out.[6]

On May 16, 2017, it was announced that Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions and J. J. Abrams's Bad Robot Productions were producing a horror drama anthology series titled Lovecraft Country for HBO and Warner Bros. Television. The television series was an adaptation of the 2016 horror novel by Matt Ruff. The pilot was written by Misha Green, who served as the showrunner for the series. Peele, Abrams and Ben Stephenson served as executive producers.[7]
