Mary J. Blige is making significant moves in the 25th anniversary year of her triumphant and lucrative career. This time it’s in form of a first-look television deal with the global conglomerate Lionsgate.
The Grammy Award-winner will develop and produce TV series through her new company Blue Butterfly Productions. The agreement also gives Blige the chance to create content across Lionsgate’s numerous platforms.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be working with Lionsgate,” the singer/actress said Wednesday in a statement. “They are incredible collaborators and have been natural partners from when we first started talking. I can’t wait to bring all of our projects to life.”
“Mary is a very talented artist, fearless visionary and an incredible human being. We’re delighted to be working with someone with such a powerful and impactful creative voice,” Lionsgate Television Group Chairman Kevin Beggs stated.
He continued saying, “Every art she touches blossoms, and we’re humbled she’s chosen us as her home. We look forward to all the exciting new content, Mary, and her Blue Butterfly banner will bring to our television slate and Lionsgate 360 orbit.”
Blige is one of many new additions to the Lionsgate family. Common, Courtney Kemp, Jonathan Levine and others have signed a pact with the entity this year.

Go head Mary do your thang!
Who likes this old lady? I’ve never heard anyone say they were fans or even mentioned this lady. How the hell she forged a long ass career is a mystery. I guess she’s mom music? WTFK
SHUT UP!
Seriously don’t
Take your own advice…
It’s idiots like you that gives the younger generation a false image of stupidity.
Nooooo she makes beautiful music and has inspired a select few good rappers of this generation but I’m guessing your just a troll
Well, I am a woman ? for the record. After looking at the BET Award show, Ifound
Troll is MJB and individual calling others “Troll”. Without PD the Bum MJB would still live in projects if not dead from drugs , alcohol and prostitution. No talent here… Just every male that has dogged her, fans probably the same, but just broke. The greatest love ? one could know is from God. Shame many are too feeble minded to know this. The awards showed nothing but Satan’s disciplines, which is all you could see in the brief viewing. Too ignorant to watch pass 10 minutes.
