Woody Allen’s latest work, Crisis in Six Scenes, should prove to be one of Amazon’s biggest gets yet.

What the series is and what it’s about has been largely kept under wraps until today when the trailer was released.

Continuing his fondness for stories of the past, Allen puts himself in the midst of the social upheaval of the 1960s, which will undoubtedly invite parallel comparisons to the social upheaval of today.

Watch the trailer here, then look for the series to start streaming on Friday, September 30th.

Making a TV show that will be streaming exclusively on Amazon is indeed new, uncharted territory for Woody Allen.

However, this first clip of Crisis in Six Scenes shows Allen himself is right in his neurotic, insecurity-ridden, comic form, perhaps better than in the trailers for Cafe Society.

We’ll get to see if the rest of the season 1 of Crisis in Six Scenes will be the same when it starts streaming on Amazon Prime on Friday, September 30th.

Five years ago, who would have guessed that this headline would ever be a real thing or even be able to think it up?

Woody Allen’s foray into the world of streaming services is indeed going forward with his half-hour comedy that has got a six-episode order from Amazon. The addition of Elaine May, from the renowned comedy duo Nichols and May, and Miley Cyrus to the cast, alongside himself, further peaks our curiosity as to what Allen’s up to.

If he can see the great performance that he drew out of Andrew Dice Clay in Blue Jasmine, we’re intrigued to see what Allen will not only do with a TV series in 2016, but do so with this particular cast.

Transparent has broken a lot of ground for Amazon Studios, especially with their recent Golden Globes win. Now, Amazon, as you might expect, is opting for more critical acclaim by chasing down more high profile creators.

They caught a pretty big fish by getting Woody Allen to make The Untitled Woody Allen Project, a half-hour series, for a 2016 release.

There are no details about the show beyond that, but we wouldn’t be surprised at all if it featured a beautiful locale and dysfunctional people being stuck together.

Sony Pictures Classics Acquires Rights to Woody Allen’s ‘Magic in the Moonlight’

Another beautiful destination in the French Riviera around the 1920’s plus Woody Allen equals Allen’s next film Magic In the Moonlight, a romantic comedy that could make a start for a case of a whole french romantic period in the director’s career.

As Sony Pictures Classics has gotten the rights to the film in North America, we shall see.

Woody Allen’s Next Film ‘Magic In The Moonlight’ Set in Southern France

To no one surprise, Woody Allen is lining his next movie in a picturesque locale, which just happens to be Southern France for Magic in the Moonlight.

No word on the plot and whether it’s supposed to be drama, comedy, or dramatic comedy, but we are curious as to whether this will further put on hold Allen’s wish to return to stand up.

Woody Allen To Receive Cecil B. DeMille Award at Golden Globes This Year

After Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Midnight in Paris, and Blue Jasmine, not to mention his storied filmography before that, we’d say, yeah, Woody Allen is up for a lifetime career achievement award or two.

Louis CK stopped by The Daily Show last night to promote his part in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine and he’s just thankful he got to meet the guy.

Watch the interview with John Oliver here.

There Might Be a Woody Allen/Louis C.K. Buddy Comedy in The Works

We wonder if this will invent a new dynamic for the buddy comedy sub genre branching away from Crosby/Hope, Gibson/Glover, Wilson/Vaughn, or a Bullock/McCarthy chemistry.

Hopefully, we’ll get to find out if this ends up being a real movie.

Whether it’s an homage or reference to Woody Allen’s films or not, we do have a soft spot for wry comedy in black and white. Such is the case with Noah Baumbach’s Frances Ha starring Greta Gerwig. See the trailer to see what we’re talking about.
