Kurtzman is the latest megaproducer to sign on for a rich deal. Under his new $160 million, five-and-a-half-year agreement, he will continue growing the Star Trek television universe for Paramount+ while developing other shows such as The Man Who Fell to Earth and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. “From the first meeting I had with Alex, it was so obvious to me that he’s our future,” George Cheeks, the president and chief executive of CBS, tells The New York Times. “The guy can develop for broadcast. He can develop for premium streaming, broad streaming. He understands the business. He’s got tremendous empathy. He’s creatively nimble. When you make these investments, you need to know that this talent can actually deliver multiple projects at the same time across multiple platforms.”
