Amazon has green lit series four of the multi-Golden Globe and multi-Emmy Award-winning series Transparent.



transparentReturning cast includes Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), Judith Light (Dallas), Gaby Hoffmann (Girls), Amy Landecker and Jay Duplass.

The fourth season will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in 2017, while the already-wrapped third will premiere this autumn on Prime Video in the US, UK, Austria, Germany and Japan.

“As the quality of television rises to new heights, Transparent continues to stand out for its depth of character, compassionate storytelling and its infinite creative risk-taking,” said Joe Lewis, head of half-hour TV at Amazon Studios. “We’re grateful that customers have responded so enthusiastically to the Pfefferman family and we’re excited to bring them another chapter of their story.”

Transparent stars Tambor as Maura. When she reintroduces herself to her family, everyone else’s secrets finally start to come out. This includes her ex-wife Shelly (played by Light), and their children—meandering Ali (played by Hoffmann), music producer Josh (played by Duplass), and sexually conflicted Sarah (played by Landecker).

“Amazon’s explosive freedom and revolutionary thinking has given birth to this show,” added series creator Jill Soloway, who will continue in her role as showrunner on the show. “It’s so much more than TV to us, it’s our version of the most ambitious streaming art we can conjure. We’re having the time of our lives sharing season two for the awards season hoopla, and editing and finishing up season three for a fall release. This news of an order for season four is so, so sweet. The Pfeffermans have many more stories to tell and we can’t wait to keep making them.”
