Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum’s Gloria Sanchez Productions inks a multi-year nonexclusive deal with Netflix.

Deadline was first to report that the production company, which produces the Christina Applegate-led dark comedy Dead to Me, has teamed with the streaming giant, signing a three-year first-look TV deal. 

“We’re thrilled to continue to build upon Gloria Sanchez’s strong slate of female-driven storytelling at the highest level,” Ferrell and Elbaum said in a statement. “While celebrating that brand mission, we are excited to expand our scope to include many brilliant creators and storytellers with projects in all genres and content platforms. Both Netflix and Paramount share our vision of bringing audiences the quality that they deserve, making them dream partners in our new venture. We can’t wait to get to work.”

The company has also signed a separate multi-year feature deal with Paramount.
