Ryan Murphy to Exit Netflix for New Disney Deal, Reunite With Dana Walden

Ryan Murphy is racing back to Disney, and, in the process, re-joins longtime collaborator Dana Walden.

The decision to reunite with Walden — now the co-chairman of Disney Entertainment — comes five years after Murphy ankled 20th Century Fox TV for a rich deal atthat was reportedly valued at the time at between $250 million-$300 million. That deal came right before Disney acquired 20th Century Fox and Walden, who at the time was Fox Television Group chairman-CEO.

Timing of the news is unusual, given the ongoing writers strike, although chatter of Murphy’s return to Disney has been going on for months — really, years — pre-dating the start of the strike. Nonetheless, it’s unclear when such a new deal would start. Disney declined comment. It wasn’t until “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” launched in September 2022 followed by “The Watcher” in October that Murphy had his first bona fide hits for the streamer, with “Dahmer” ranking as the third most popular English language TV season of all time on Netflix.
