The New Amsterdam creator and Universal Television have taken their relationship to the next level. 

Multiple outlets report that David Schulner has inked a four-year overall deal with the studio. The new deal extends a relationship which dates back to 2010.

“David is a versatile writer and showrunner who has proven himself adept in multiple genres. His very clear vision and leadership has been critical to the breakout success of New Amsterdam around the world. I’m grateful that we get to continue this decade-long relationship,” Universal TV president Pearlena Igbokwe said in a statement.

Schulner added: “I started my career as a playwright and my dream was to be part of a theater company; working with the same people on different projects, growing and honing our skills together. I never thought I’d find such a place in television. I was wrong. Universal has been my home for 10 years and I’m thrilled I get to stay a little longer.”
