As part of the deal, the ‘Truth Hurts’ star will work with the tech giants to create television projects which will premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. The news was announced during Amazon’s virtual Television Critics Association.

Speaking about her latest project, Lizzo said: “I’m so excited to partner with the amazing team at Amazon. Thank you to Jen Salke and the rest of the team for making this dream come true. I can’t wait to get started and share my vision with the world.”

“Lizzo is one of the most exciting, creative, joyful artists in the industry, and it is such a pleasure to announce this new deal with her,” added Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. “She has such a unique perspective and we’re so excited to hear her ideas for new content that our Prime Video customers are sure to love.”
