‘The Equalizer’ team Terri Miller and Andrew Marlowe sign with IAG

Terri Miller and Andrew Marlowe, who developed the Queen Latifah-led reboot of “The Equalizer” and served as showrunners for the first two seasons, have signed with Independent Artist Group.

Miller and Marlowe produced “The Equalizer,” which returns for its fifth season on October 20, through their MilMar Pictures banner. The series’ 2021 premiere episode, which launched after the Super Bowl, reached more than 20 million viewers.

Before reviving that franchise, Miller and Marlowe created the crime drama “Take Two.” The show starred Rachel Bilson, a former star of a hip cop show who realizes that her acting skills make her a skilled detective. The show premiered on ABC in the US and lasted one season.

The pair also worked together on ABC’s long-running crime drama “Castle,” for which Marlowe served as creator and showrunner and Miller served as executive producer. For eight seasons, “Castle” starred Nathan Fillion as best-selling mystery writer Richard Castle and Stana Katic as homicide detective Kate Beckett as the unlikely duo who solve unusual crimes in New York City. Ultimately, the story turns into a romance as the two fall for each other and try to solve the murder of Beckett’s mother.

Following the success of ‘Castle’, Marlowe and Miller found themselves overseeing the creation of a series of connecting novels ‘written’ by the show’s main character, Richard Castle.

Miller and Marlowe met after they both became winners of the Motion Picture Academy’s Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting in the same year. Marlowe’s film credits include ‘Air Force One’ with Harrison Ford, ‘End of Days’ with Arnold Schwarzenegger and ‘Hollow Man’, directed by Paul Verhoeven. Miller wrote the festival’s favorite short film “Dysenchanted” and serves on the advisory board of Young Storytellers, an organization that helps underserved students find their voices as writers.

Independent Artist Group, which bills itself as an alternative to “the big three” agencies, was formed in 2023 after APA merged with touring powerhouse Artist Group Intl. Clients include Billy Joel, Lily Gladstone and 50 Cent.

Miller and Marlowe are still represented by Guymon Casady at Management 360 and by their attorney, Linda Lichter of Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark.
