Director Woody Allen is to create his first ever television series.
Amazon has commissioned the Oscar-winning film-maker to write and direct a full season of an unnamed show for its Amazon Prime Instant Video service.
“I don’t know how I got into this,” the Annie Hall and Manhattan director said in a statement. “I have no ideas and I’m not sure where to begin.”
The half-hour episodes will be available to Amazon Prime subscribers in the US, UK and Germany in 2016.
Amazon won its first Golden Globes on Sunday for its dark comedy Transparent, a show about a family dealing with a father who is transgender.
Amazon Studios vice president Roy Price said it was an “honour” to be working with Allen.
