Woody Allen’s first TV series
NEW YORK
Amazon Studios is delivering Woody Allen as creator of his first-ever TV series.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker will write and direct all of the episodes of the half-hour series. A full season has been ordered for Amazon’s Prime Instant Video, the company announced Tuesday. The series is expected to premiere in 2016.
No details on casting were disclosed, nor was the series title announced.
Amazon Studios vice president Roy Price called Allen “a visionary creator who has made some of the greatest films of all time,” keeping him “at the creative forefront of American cinema” during a career that spans 50 years.
“I don’t know how I got into this,” the 79-year-old Allen said in a wryly modest statement. “I have no ideas and I’m not sure where to begin. My guess is that Roy Price will regret this.”
Allen’s signing adds another coat of luster to Amazon Studios, a recent entrant in the world of streaming video that is redefining what “television” means. On Sunday, Amazon’s first season of its series “Transparent” won two Golden Globes, including best comedy series.
