Amazon signs Woody Allen for his first TV show


Even Woody Allen is getting into the streaming content game. The prolific writer and director has scored a deal with Amazon Studios to produce his first-ever television series. Unfortunately, there's no word on a title, casting, or even what the heck the series is going to be about. But we imagine there'll be plenty of idle chatter and an overwhelming sense of ennui. Amazon says Allen will write and direct the half-hour show, and it'll premiere on its Prime video service next year. Ever the professional, Allen seemed prepared for the challenge of television in a statement: "I don't know how I got into this," he said (and yes it's real). "I have no ideas and I'm not sure where to begin. My guess is that [Amazon Studios VP] will regret this."
