In 2010, Vertigo signed a first-look deal with Warner Bros. to produce films.

In March 2013, Vertigo signed a two-year first-look deal with Fox 21 to develop projects for cable.

In December 2015, Vertigo expanded their partnership with Warner Bros. to include a two-year exclusive deal for drama and comedy series.

In November 2017, Vertigo signed a multi-year first-look deal with Sony Pictures Television, including drama, comedy and unscripted programs for network, cable and streaming.

In 2020, Vertigo signed a deal with Lionsgate to produce films.
