Amazon Studios has announced that is has given the greenlight to six original comedy pilots from a pool of talent ranging from The Daily Show's Kristen Schaal, The Onion's Will Graham and Dan Mirk and The Big Bang Theory's Kevin Sussman and John Ross Bowie, THR reports.
The studio’s plan is to make the pilots available on Amazon Instant Video for free viewing once they are complete, and then utilize viewer feedback to select which of the contenders will receive a full series order. The shows that make it through will be available exclusively to Amazon Prime members.
“Since launching our original series development effort, we have received more than 2,000 series ideas from creators around the world with all different backgrounds, and we are extremely excited to begin production on our very first set of pilots. The six comedy pilots will begin production shortly, and once they are complete, we plan to post the pilots on Amazon Instant Video for feedback. We want Amazon customers to help us decide which original series we should produce,” Roy Price, director of Amazon Studios said.
