Pose director, producer and writer Janet Mock made history as it was announced on Wednesday (June 19) that she signed an overall deal with Netflix.
She signed a three-year multimillion-dollar deal that gives Netflix exclusive rights to her TV series and a first-look option at future film projects. Mock will continue working with Ryan Murphy on the FX series Pose, and she will also be serving as executive producer and director on his upcoming Netflix series, Hollywood. 
Mock commented on the deal, telling Variety, "As someone who grew up in front of the TV screen, whether that was watching talk shows or family sitcoms or VHS films, I never thought that I would be embraced. And more than embraced. Given not just a seat at the table but a table of my own making." 
Mock added that she hopes the deal "will be a huge signal boost, industrywide, to empower people and equip them to tell their own stories."
