In the past 12 months, the If Beale Street Could Talk star has won an Academy Award for her role as a supporting actress in that film, as well as an Emmy Award (her third) for the Netflix series Seven Seconds.

King will now be re-teaming with the streaming service to produce films and shows under her production company Royal Ties.

The 48-year-old may be better known for being on camera, but she also has a rich resumé that includes directing episodes of This Is Us, Scandal, and Shameless.

“I am beyond thrilled to join the Netflix family,” King said in a statement. “They are at the top of their game and as an artist I am so excited to come play in this wonderful sandbox they have created for storytellers.”

King’s sister, former actress Reina King, will be joining her, serving as the head of production.

Many famous names have been recognized for the influence they have on the world as part of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2019.

The prestigious list is divided into five categories: Pioneers, Artists, Leaders, Icons and Titans.

Those emanating from Hollywood include big names such as Dwayne Johnson, Taylor Swift (who is rumored to be releasing new music this month), recent Oscar winner Regina King, fellow Oscar winner Lady Gaga, Chrissy Teigen, Sandra Oh, Korean pop group BTS, Khalid, comedian Hasan Minhaj, and Richard Madden.

Not everyone made one of the special covers, but those who did included Taylor, Dwayne, and Sandra.

Now in its 16th year, the editorial director of the TIME 100, Dan Mascai, describes the list as “a community of hundreds of global leaders, many of whom support and challenge one another. And at a time when so many of our problems require cross-disciplinary solutions, they are also uniquely positioned to effect change. When you connect extraordinary people, they can do even more extra-ordinary things.”

And how extraordinary they are!
