Miley Cyrus has signed a talent and development deal with NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, which includes a first-look arrangement between Cyrus’ production company Hopetown Entertainment (which she runs with her mother and manager Tish Cyrus). Hopetown will develop scripted and unscripted projects for the NBCU outlets including NBC, Bravo, E!, Oxygen, SYFY, Universal Kids, USA and Peacock. Cyrus may serve as a producer, performer and/or host on any number of network, cable, streaming and syndication programs.
Cyrus will also star in three specials for NBCU, starting with the Pride concert special “Stand By You,” for Peacock. The one-hour special was filmed in Nashville and features Cyrus singing her hits and her take on classics, “all in the spirit of Pride.”
Cyrus said in a statement: “I have had an incredible long-lasting relationship with NBC for years. Many memorable moments in my career have been shared and supported by NBCU. This feels like a natural progression and I am looking forward to creating content that we love and hope everyone who watches does too. We’re starting this journey together with a Pride special on Peacock to celebrate a month we both want to highlight with this concert event.”
