Amazon Studios has signed the film director Woody Allen to write and direct his first-ever television series.

"Untitled Woody Allen Project," a half-hour series, has received a full season order and will be available to Prime Instant Video customers in the U.S., the U.K. and Germany in 2016.

“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,” says Roy Price, vice president, Amazon Studios. “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.”
