The controversial British TV personality said Thursday that he's inked a deal with Murdoch's News Corp and Fox News.

He'll launch a new TV show in early 2022, and will join The Sun and New York Post newspapers as a columnist.

The TV program will air in the United Kingdom on talkTV, a new channel announced on Thursday, as well as on Sky News Australia and the Fox News streaming service Fox Nation in the United States.

Morgan will also write a new book with publisher and News Corp subsidiary HarperCollins and present a series of true crime documentaries.

"Great to be rejoining Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation after 28 years," Morgan tweeted.
