(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced that in celebration of two
recent Golden Globe wins, it will make all ten episodes of Amazon
Original Series Transparent available for free for everyone this
Saturday. Transparent, which is typically available exclusively to
Amazon Prime members, recently took home the Golden Globe for Best
Musical or Comedy Series, while its star, Jeffrey Tambor, earned
the coveted award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy Series.
Anyone can watch Transparent at no cost on Saturday using the
Amazon Instant Video app for TVs, connected devices and mobile
devices, or online at Amazon.com/Transparent. Also on Saturday and
in celebration of the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, Amazon Prime
will be available for just $72—a more than 25 percent savings. New
members can sign up for this limited-time Prime offer at
Amazon.com/TransparentPrime.
“We’re incredibly proud of everyone involved in the making
of Transparent—the team took a risk and it paid off,” said
Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. “Big kudos and
congrats to Jill, Jeffrey, and all the cast and crew.”
Written, directed and executive produced by Emmy-nominee and
2013 Sundance Best Director winner Jill
Soloway, Transparent is a 10-episode, half-hour
novelistic series that explores family, identity, sex, and love.
The series stars Tambor as Maura, who has spent her life as
Mort—the Pfefferman family patriarch. Also starring Judith
Light (Dallas), Gaby Hoffmann (Girls), Amy
Landecker (Louie) and Jay Duplass (Togetherness),
Transparent is the no. 1 ranked series on Prime Instant Video since
the show’s launch. Also proving popular among critics, the show
clocked in a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes with a 98
percent critic rating, and a 91 Metascore on Metacritic. Due to the
overwhelming success of the show, and the incredibly positive
viewer response, Amazon has greenlit a second season
of Transparent, to air later this year.
In 2013, Amazon introduced a unique process for selecting which
shows it turns into Amazon Original Series. Amazon makes pilot
episodes available for all customers to watch and provide feedback
on, and then uses that feedback to help decide which shows to turn
into full series. Through that process, customers helped to get
Transparent greenlit for a full series last year, as the pilot
received both critical and customer acclaim. Customers can now
weigh in once again on the next pilots they want turned into new
Amazon Original Series—13 original comedy, drama, docu-series and
kids pilots are currently available at Amazon.com/PIV.
This Saturday, all Amazon customers can enjoy Transparent on
their TVs using the Amazon Instant Video app on Amazon Fire TV,
Roku, Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, and smart TVs. They can also use the
Amazon Instant Video app to watch on mobile devices, including Fire
tablets, Fire phone, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Android phones, as
