David Oyelowo Signs Apple TV+ First-Look Deal

David Oyelowo, who stars in Apple TV+‘s series Silo, is expanding his relationship with the streamer.

The actor and his wife and producing partner, Jessica Oyelowo, have signed a first-look deal with Apple TV+ via their Yoruba Saxon banner. Under the multi-year deal, the company will develop both series and feature film projects that Apple will have the first shot at buying.

Yoruba Saxon is a producer of Paramount+’s Lawmen: Bass Reeves (along with MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios); Oyelowo plays the title role, for which he earned a Golden Globe nomination on Monday. The Oyelowos’ company has also produced Nightingale, Captive, A United Kingdom and Come Away, among other titles, and will produce Apple TV+’s forthcoming series Government Cheese along with MACRO Television Studios. The latter is a dramedy based on a short film by Paul Hunter, who co-created the series with Aeysha Carr. Oyelowo is set to star.

Silo, meanwhile, has been renewed for a second season at Apple TV+. Oyelowo also has Prime Video’s thriller Role Play with Kaley Cuoco and Sony Pictures’ The Book of Clarence on deck.

Yoruba Saxon is repped by CAA and Del Shaw.
