The writer/creator/actor for "Crashing," "Fleabag," "Killing Eve" and now an Emmy Award winner, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is showing no signs of slowing down. Fresh off her multiple Emmy success, she has signed on an overall deal with Amazon Studios.
"I'm insanely excited to be continuing my relationship with Amazon," Waller-Bridge said in a statement. "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!"
Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke said in a statement, "We are thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Phoebe at Amazon Studios. As evident in her great success at the Emmy Awards this week, she is clever, brilliant, generous and a virtuoso on multiple fronts including writing, acting and producing.

In her post-Fleabag career, she has a comedic -thriller series titled "Run" which will premiere on HBO. Starring Merrit Wever and Domhnal Gleeson. Created by Waller-Bridge and Vicky Jones, the series is about Ruby Dixie (Merrit Wever) a woman living a humdrum existence who gets a text inviting her to fulfill a youthful pact promising true love and self-reinvention by stepping out of her life to take a journey with her oldest flame.
