Amazon’s Prime Video is the first content
provider in a decade to win Best Musical or Comedy Series and Best
Actor in a Musical or Comedy Series in back-to-back years for
different shows
(NASDAQ: AMZN) – Amazon today announced the multi-Golden Globe
award-winning series, Mozart in the Jungle, has been renewed for a
third season. Starring Gael García Bernal (Salt and Fire), who
was awarded the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Musical or
Comedy Series, and Lola Kirke (Gone Girl), Mozart in the Jungle
will begin production later this year and will continue the story
of the talented musicians who perform and live with passion under
the baton of its spirited conductor, best known simply as Rodrigo.
Executive Produced by Roman Coppola (Moonrise
Kingdom), Jason Schwartzman (The Darjeeling Limited)
and Paul Weitz (About a Boy), season three will see Rodrigo
and many musicians take their talents to Europe.
The win for Mozart in the Jungle brings Amazon’s total number of
Golden Globe awards to four, following last year’s double win
for Transparent in the same categories. It also
makes Prime Video the first content provider in a decade
to win Best Musical or Comedy Series and Best Actor in a Musical or
Comedy Series in back-to-back years for different shows.
“Mozart in the Jungle bursts with creativity and passion, and
offers audiences something truly unique,” said Joe Lewis, Head of
Half Hour Series, Amazon Studios. “Amazon is proud to have two of
the most risky and enthralling comedy series on television
today.”
Based on the critically acclaimed memoir Mozart in the Jungle:
Sex, Drugs & Classical Music by Blair Tindall, the
series draws back the curtain at the New York Symphony, where
artistic dedication and creativity collide with mind games,
politicking and survival instincts. Along with Bernal and Kirke,
Mozart in the Jungle also stars Saffron Burrows (Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D.), Malcolm McDowell (The Mentalist), Bernadette
Peters (Smash), Hannah Dunne (Frances Ha) and Schwartzman.
Schwartzman, on behalf of his fellow executive producers Coppola
and Weitz, said, “We’re grateful to Amazon for endowing our
orchestra with another season. We can’t wait to follow our
characters through the vast world of music, whether performing on a
subway platform or in the grand concert halls of Europe.”
