According to Deadline, Ryan Murphy has just sold yet another TV project, with Netflix picking up his hourlong comedy series The Politician and granting it a two-season straight-to-series order. This apparently came after a “weeklong bidding war among top streaming players” that Netflix won with a healthy amount of cash, and that streamer interest most likely has something to do with the fact that The Politician is set to star Ben Platt, Barbra Streisand, and Gwyneth Paltrow—all of whom are award-winning performers. Streisand and Paltrow are technically still in negotiations, but Netflix surely won’t let this happen without them.
