Ryan Murphy has called his five-year, US$300 million (NZ$407m) Netflix deal "emotional and overwhelming".
The Glee creator will leave 20th Century Fox Television in July after inking a huge deal with the streaming service and he admitted he is overcome with emotion at how far he has come.
He said:
"The history of this moment is not lost on me. I am a gay kid from Indiana who moved to Hollywood in 1989 with $55 dollars in savings in my pocket, so the fact that my dreams have crystallized and come true in such a major way is emotional and overwhelming to me.
"I am honoured and grateful to continue my partnership with my friends and peers at Fox on our existing shows."
Ryan has found huge success with his shows, including Nip/Tuck, Glee, Scream Queens, and the American Crime Story and American Horror Story franchises and Netflix is thrilled to have signed him up.
