Jennifer Lopez is bringing her talents to Netflix. 

The 51-year-old musician and actress has inked a multi-year, first-look deal with the streaming giant, according to a Monday statement from the company, People reports.

Lopez and her production company, Nuyorican Productions - which she runs with her producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas - will be developing feature films and television series, plus scripted and unscripted content.

Benny Medina will also serve as a partner in the deal, which will put an "emphasis on projects that support diverse female actors, writers and filmmakers," per Netflix.

"I am excited to announce my new partnership with Netflix," Lopez said in the news release. "Elaine, Benny and I believe there is no better home for us than a forward leaning content creation company that seeks to defy conventional wisdom and directly market to the millions across the globe who no longer view art and entertainment with the kind of boundaries and limitations of the past."

"We at Nuyorican Productions are thrilled to find like-minded partners in Ted Sarandos, Scott Stuber, Bela Bajaria and the whole team and look forward to getting to work right away," the "Lets Get Loud" singer added.
