Amazon Studios has just signed an overall deal with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the creator and star of the Emmy-winning Amazon Original series, Fleabag.

The pact is reportedly for three years. Waller-Bridge, a newly minted three-time Emmy winner whose shows, Fleabag and Killing Eve, just won a total of seven Emmys, most in marquee categories awarded Sunday night.

Under the deal, Waller-Bridge will create and produce new television content for Amazon Studios to premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories.

“I’m insanely excited to be continuing my relationship with Amazon. Working with the team on Fleabag was the creative partnership dreams are made of. It really feels like home. I can’t wait to get going!” says Waller-Bridge of the new deal.

Sadly, it does not include a clause demanding a third series of Fleabag, but then she's always said that she'd told all the story she wanted with that show, and is moving on to pastures new.
