Amazon Studios has signed author/film director Woody Allen up to write and direct a television series.
This will be the director’s first foray into TV and is part of Amazon’s recent push into the creation of original TV content, a move that puts the company in direct competition with Netflix.
Untitled Woody Allen Project, has the green light for a full series of half-hour episodes. Amazon has yet to disclose who will star in the show. The episodes will be available specifically to Prime Instant Video customers in the US, UK and Germany.
