\n\tWicked<\/em> filmmaker Jon M. Chu has signed a first-look three-year producing deal with Paramount Pictures and Paramount Television Studios.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnder the deal, which takes effect Jan. 2, 2026, Chu and his production company will work to develop and produce feature film and television projects for the David Ellison-run studio. He\u2019ll work closely with Paramount Pictures co-chairs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, Motion Picture Group president Don Granger and Paramount Television Studios president Matt Thunell.<\/p>\n

\n\tMost recently, Chu helmed Universal Pictures\u2019 Wicked: For Good<\/em>, the second installment in his film adaptation of the famed Broadway musical. The film, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, opened last month and holds the record for the biggest global opening ever for a movie based on a Broadway show, and the second-biggest opening at the domestic box office in 2025.<\/p>\n

\n\tWicked<\/em>, the first installment, released last year and became a box office hit, earning more than $756 million worldwide. It also scored 10 Oscar nominations, including best picture. At the ceremony earlier this year, it ultimately won the Academy Awards for best production design and best costume design.<\/p>\n

\n\tChu previously directed the critically acclaimed Crazy Rich Asians<\/em>, which served as a turning point for Asian and Asian American representation in Hollywood. He also helmed In the Heights<\/em>, Now You See Me 2<\/em> and Step Up 2 the Streets<\/em>, among others.<\/p>\n

\n\tUp next, he\u2019s set to helm the live-action\u00a0Hot Wheels<\/em>\u00a0feature for Warner Bros as well as executive produce a\u00a0Crazy Rich Asians<\/em>\u00a0TV series<\/a> that HBO Max is developing.<\/p>\n

\n\tChu is repped by UTA, Artists First, and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson and Christopher, LLP, and ID PR.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
