When Taraji P. Henson makes a move, the industry pays attention, and this time, she’s doing it big. The award-winning actress, producer, and all-around powerhouse has inked a brand-new deal with Netflix that promises not one, but two exciting films, and yes, she’s producing them too!

Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson continues to soar with her latest milestone, a two-picture acting deal with Netflix. Under this new partnership, she’ll star in two upcoming films while also serving as a producer on each project through her company, TPH Entertainment. It’s a major move that deepens her creative relationship with the streaming giant and reinforces her position as one of Hollywood’s most influential figures.

While details about the films are still being kept secret, this collaboration comes on the heels of her recent success with the platform. Henson’s latest Netflix project, Straw, reportedly drew impressive viewership and critical attention, paving the way for this new chapter.

Known for her iconic performances in Empire, Hidden Figures, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which earned her an Oscar nomination, Henson has long been celebrated for her versatility and emotional depth on screen. But beyond acting, she’s proving to be a visionary producer who wants to shape the kinds of stories she once fought to be part of.

Taraji’s journey reflects the growing influence of Black women in Hollywood who are not only leading stories but also building the platforms that tell them.
