Stewart have signed with Paradigm Talent Agency for representation, adding one of Hollywood&#8217;s top literary agencies to their creative team. They continue to be managed by Redefine Entertainment.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/02\/eyal-podell-jonathon-e-stewart-sign-paradigm-1236738670\/\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Podell and Stewart first turned heads in 2012 when their screenplay\u00a0<em>Seuss<\/em>, a biographical film about beloved children&#8217;s author Dr. Seuss , landed the No. 2 spot on Hollywood&#8217;s prestigious Black List. That early buzz launched what would become a decade-long run at the top of studio animation.<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/02\/eyal-podell-jonathon-e-stewart-sign-paradigm-1236738670\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duo went on to write&nbsp;<em>Cars 3<\/em>&nbsp;for Pixar and Walt Disney Pictures, a film that earned over $383 million at the global box office. They followed that up with&nbsp;<em>Angry Birds 2<\/em>&nbsp;for Sony Pictures, featuring a star-studded voice cast including Josh Gad, Bill Hader, and others, and&nbsp;<em>Scoob!<\/em>&nbsp;for Warner Bros. Animation, a modern reboot of the classic Hanna-Barbera series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond their produced credits, Podell and Stewart have been deep in development across both animation and live-action. They worked with <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/chris-columbus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chris Columbus<\/a> on\u00a0<em>Jack vs the Apocalypse<\/em>\u00a0at Netflix and most recently adapted Cressida Cowell&#8217;s fantasy novel\u00a0<em>The Wizards of Once<\/em>\u00a0for DreamWorks Animation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Dartmouth College graduates, the pair are known for sharp, character-driven storytelling with humor that plays big on screen.<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/02\/eyal-podell-jonathon-e-stewart-sign-paradigm-1236738670\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing comes on the heels of Paradigm also adding\u00a0<em>Everything Sucks!<\/em>\u00a0creator <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/ben-york-jones-signs-with-paradigm-talent-agency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ben York Jones to its roster<\/a>, another signal that the agency is aggressively building its Motion Picture Literary bench. \u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, their management home Redefine Entertainment is also on the move. The firm recently added former UTA Motion Picture Lit partner Emerson Davis as a partner in January 2026, a major boost to its literary management muscle.<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/01\/emerson-davis-joins-redefine-entertainment-partner-1236681107\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a power move that shouldn&#8217;t fly under the radar. Eyal Podell and Jonathon E. Stewart aren&#8217;t newcomers looking for a break; they&#8217;re seasoned, proven studio writers with major box office hits and franchise-level IP experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signing with Paradigm gives them access to a deep network of studio and streaming buyers at exactly the moment when animation and family content is surging again on major platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s interesting is the full-team setup here: Paradigm handles agency representation and deal-making, while Redefine Entertainment handles the long-game career strategy. That dual-layer approach is increasingly the playbook for in-demand writers who want agency hustle and management attention.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paradigm&#8217;s back-to-back literary signings in February 2026 (Podell &amp; Stewart) suggest the agency is on a deliberate roster-building sprint on the writing side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a duo working on both original films and a DreamWorks adaptation, having that kind of firepower behind you could be the difference between a project moving forward and sitting in development limbo.<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/02\/ben-york-jones-paradigm-agency-1236730838\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will we see Podell and Stewart move further into live\u2011action or prestige TV? Will this encourage other animation writers to make similar agency moves in 2026?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Names:\u00a0Eyal Podell &amp; Jonathon E.
