(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced it has greenlit season
four of the multi-Golden Globe and multi-Emmy Award-winning series
Transparent. Returning cast includes Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested
Development) as Maura Pfefferman, Judith Light (Dallas) as Shelly
Pfefferman, Gaby Hoffmann (Girls) as Ali Pfefferman, Amy Landecker
(Louie) as Sarah Pfefferman and Jay Duplass (Togetherness) as Josh
Pfefferman. Series creator Jill Soloway will continue in her role
as Showrunner on Transparent and Andrea Sperling as Executive
Producer. The fourth season of Transparent will premiere
exclusively on Prime Video in 2017.
“As the quality of television rises to new heights, Transparent
continues to stand out for its depth of character, compassionate
storytelling and its infinite creative risk-taking,” said Joe
Lewis, Head of Half Hour TV at Amazon Studios. “We’re grateful that
customers have responded so enthusiastically to the Pfefferman
family and we’re excited to bring them another chapter of their
story.”
“Amazon’s explosive freedom and revolutionary thinking has given
birth to this show,” said Soloway. “It’s so much more than TV to
us, it’s our version of the most ambitious streaming art we can
conjure. We’re having the time of our lives sharing season two for
the awards season hoopla, and editing and finishing up season three
for a fall release. This news of an order for season four is so so
sweet. The Pfeffermans have many more stories to tell and we can’t
wait to keep making them.”
Written, directed and executive produced by multi-award winner
Soloway, Transparent is a half hour novelistic series that explores
family, identity, sex, and love. The series stars Tambor as Maura.
When she reintroduces herself to her family, everyone else’s
secrets finally start to come out. This includes her ex-wife Shelly
(played by Light), and their children—meandering Ali (played by
Hoffmann), music producer Josh (played by Duplass), and sexually
conflicted Sarah (played by Landecker). Each family member spins in
a different direction as they figure out who they won’t become. The
highly anticipated third season of Transparent is scheduled to
premiere this fall on Prime Video in the US, UK, Austria, Germany
and Japan.
