Amazon Studiosjust announcedits next slate of television pilots , which will debut sometime in early 2015 . Once they ’re exhaust , feedback will help decide whether Amazon will order them to series , the same asprevious pilot round .
So which one is the nextTransparent ? If Amazon can score another prisonbreak striking , it ’ll build authority that Amazon Studios is an up - and - coming original content Godhead and that Jill Holoway ’s wizard L.A. story is n’t a fluke .
None of the pilots are actually available yet , but the two that vocalize the most promising are a half - minute docuseries presented by The New Yorker called The New Yorker Presents ( Alan Cumming is ostensibly in it ) , and an 60 minutes - long dramatic play adapted from Philip K. Dick ’s excellent 1962 “ what if the Allies lost WWII ” novel “ The Man in the High Castle ” written by Frank Spotnitz , who also work on The 10 - Files .
Another promising show : Mad Dogs , which has a low - key premiss about Quaker gathering to celebrate a retirement , but a cast including Billy Zane , Steve Zahn , and Romany Malco who could make a hangout comedy happen .
Other contenders : Cocked , a show from a Lie To Me author with a very Trygve Lie to Me vibe , Point of Honor ( a story about * honorable * Confederate soldiers ) , and Salem Rogers , a comedy about a supermodel ( Leslie Bibb ) that sound kinda bad but co - stars Rachel Dratch , who I very much want to make a comeback .
There ’s also a clowning called Down Dog about a yoga teacher that sounds fairly frightful , but I ’ll withhold judgment until it airs .
Which one sound the best to you ? [ Variety ]
