Jason Bateman has signed a one-year first-look deal with 20th Century Fox TV, allowing the actor to develop new series along with producing and directing new projects.
The deal for the comeback king, who all but disappeared from Hollywood until his starring role in the series ‘Arrested Development’ put him back on the map, includes working on the new show ‘Do Not Disturb’ starring Jerry O’Connell.
“I’m an avid consumer of television, and I’ve got varying tastes,” Bateman told Variety while discussing the agreement.
He’ll next be seen in the Will Smith movie ‘Hancock’, which comes of the back of his successful role in the hit film ‘Juno.’
