‘Long Shot’ & ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’ Director Jonathan Levine Signs With WME

EXCLUSIVE: Director, writer and executive producer Jonathan Levine has signed with WME for representation.

Levine directed the entire first season of Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers, starring Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthy. He is currently in post-production on the second season, of which he directed four episodes and is also an executive producer.

He is also an executive producer on Prime Video’s new series The Sticky, through his production company Megamix Inc., which he co-founded with Gillian Bohrer.

The company has a first-look deal with Lionsgate, extending a longtime collaboration between the parties, which began on the 2011 Golden Globe-nominated film, 50/50, starring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon Levitt. The relationship continued with 2013’s Warm Bodies, as well as the 2019 comedy Long Shot, led by Rogen and Charlize Theron.

He is also in development on Mr. Irrelevant, a Skydance Sports film starring David Corenswet, about John Tuggle, who was given the title after being the last pick of the last round of the 1983 NFL draft. Levine is producing through Megamix Inc.

In 2008, Levine made his feature writing and directorial debut with The Wackness, which won the Audience Award at Sundance Film Festival. The film, which starred Ben Kingsley and Josh Peck, also earned Levine an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best First Screenplay. 

Levine continues to be represented by Carlos Goodman and ID PR.
