Amazon Prime will be featuring a television series directed and written by Woody Allen, the company. According to a press release from Amazon, the Untitled Woody Allen Project will include half-hour episodes and already has a full-season order.
Currently dubbed "Untitled Woody Allen Project," there are few details on the show, casting and exact premiere date. Judging by his statement on the series, even Allen doesn't know what's coming next.
Allen is one of the most renowned filmmakers in the world, boasting a filmography that spans more than 40 movies, including "Annie Hall," "Zelig" and "Midnight in Paris." Allen is also a playwright, musician and one of the most recognizable comedians in the world. Still, with all of the work he has done, Allen has never had a television series. This makes the Amazon deal an important one for both Allen and Amazon Studios, the arm that runs original series for the company's Prime Instant Video service.
The Untitled Woody Allen Project comes at a time of success for Amazon, with Transparent taking home the Golden Globe for best comedy or musical television series Sunday night. Signing Allen’s series, Amazon says, continues the company’s plan to release original series.
You think that has more or less successfully to Netflix?
