Woody Allen is going to write and direct his first television show for Amazon, the studio announced Tuesday morning. The half-hour show has already received a full season order and will be available exclusively on Prime Instant Video in the U.S., U.K. and Germany. Its air date is still undecided.
"Woody Allen is a visionary creator who has made some of the greatest films of all-time, and it's an honor to be working with him on his first television series," Vice President of Amazon Studios Roy Price said in a press release. "From Annie Hall to Blue Jasmine, Woody has been at the creative forefront of American cinema and we couldn't be more excited to premiere his first TV series exclusively on Prime Instant Video next year."
"I don't know how I got into this. I have no ideas and I'm not sure where to begin," Allen said. "My guess is that Roy Price will regret this."
Over the last year, Allen has come under fire for allegations that he sexually assaulted his daughter, Dylan Farrow, when she was seven years old in 1992. In Feb. 2014, Farrow, wrote an open letter in the New York Times detailing what happened to her when she was a child. Allen immediately denied the story.
