Weisman is already serving as executive producer and showrunner for upcoming Apple TV+ dramedy "Physical," which stars Rose Byrne playing a tortured housewife who makes her claim to power through aerobics in 1980s Southern California.
The new overall deal, first reported by Deadline, is a broader contract that will see Weisman develop other content and television projects exclusively for Apple's streaming platform.
Weisman, known for serving as a writer-producer on seasons 7 and 8 of "Desperate Housewives," was most recently under an overall deal at Universal TV, where she was the showrunner of one-season drama "Almost Family."
The contract with Weisman is only the latest in a series of similar overall deals that Apple TV+ has signed with writers and producers. Some past names in Apple TV+'s roster include Alfonso Cuaron, Justin Lin, Sharon Horgan, Oprah and others.
