Shawn Levy has signed an overall deal with Disney’s 20th Television after a long tenure at Netflix that began in 2017.
The agreement will see Levy and his production company, 21 Laps Entertainment, begin developing and producing projects for Disney in October 2027.
Levy is a powerhouse filmmaker who first rose to prominence as a comedy director, building a reputation for high‑profile, crowd‑pleasing work.
Disney’s 20th Television is a major studio within the Walt Disney Company that produces a wide range of television content, from drama to comedy, and has been a key player in the company’s original‑content strategy.
The deal marks a significant shift for Levy after nearly a decade of partnership with Netflix and underscores Disney’s continued focus on securing top creative talent for its expanding slate of original programming.
