- Leah Remini has signed with WME, which will expand her brand across TV, film, digital media, podcasting, and original content development.
- The deal lands amid a busy 2026 for WME, which has also added creators and comedians like Camilla Araujo, Desi Banks, and Zizi Townsend this year.
- Remini is best known for "The King of Queens" and the Emmy-winning docuseries "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath."
Leah Remini has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for representation, with agents Bradley Singer, Kathleen Lewis, Meghan Mackenzie, and Sydney Salerno leading the relationship out of the agency’s television department.
WME will work with Remini to grow her brand across TV, film, digital media, podcasting, and original content development.
Remini built her career as Carrie Heffernan on the CBS sitcom “The King of Queens,” starring opposite Kevin James for nine seasons from 1998 to 2007.
The two reunited on “Kevin Can Wait” in 2017. Her acting résumé also includes “Who’s the Boss,” its spinoff “Living Dolls,” “Cheers,” “Friends,” “NYPD Blue,” “Saved by the Bell,” and films like “Old School” and “Second Act.”
Behind the camera, she created, hosted, and executive produced A&E’s “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” with Mike Rinder, earning four Emmy nominations and two wins.
The pair also co-hosted the iHeartRadio podcast “Scientology: Fair Game,” and Remini published the memoir “Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology.”
She’s hosted VH1’s “Inside Out: Leah Remini,” TLC’s “Leah Remini: It’s All Relative,” co-hosted “The Talk,” and served as a “Dancing with the Stars” co-host and guest judge after competing on it herself. She hosted and executive-produced Game Show Network’s “People Puzzler,” landing a Daytime Emmy nomination.
The signing adds to a packed 2026 for WME’s talent roster. The agency signed digital creator Camilla Araujo as she pivots from OnlyFans into mainstream media, added comedian Desi Banks from its comedy division, and brought on junior golfer Zizi Townsend to expand its sports-creator roster.
Takeaways
This isn’t a fresh face for WME; it’s a proven multi-hyphenate with decades of built-in audience trust, at a moment when unscripted and podcast content are driving real agency revenue. Remini’s mix of scripted TV history, docuseries credibility, and an active podcast gives WME several levers to pull at once.
What new formats might WME pursue for Remini beyond TV and podcasting? Could this open the door to a new scripted comeback for Remini, given her “Kevin Can Wait” reunion history with Kevin James? How might WME package her advocacy work and “Scientology and the Aftermath” legacy into new projects?
