Will Arnett strikes Fox deal

October 15, 2008 The pact is said to be more far-reaching than a regular development deal, giving Arnett complete creative control over the writers, producers and directors he wants to work with as well as over the content of the show that will be developed for him. Considered a likely collaborator is "Arrested" creator Mitch Hurwitz, with whom Arnett has said he wants to work again. With the deal, Arnett joins his wife, Amy Poehler, who is also primetime-bound with a starring role on a midseason comedy on NBC.
