Amazon to Debut Jill Soloway’s Highly-Anticipated Dark Comedy Transparent on September 26
Amazon today announced it will premiere all ten episodes of the highly-anticipated Jill Soloway (Afternoon Delight, Six Feet Under) dark comedy Transparent on Friday, September 26 exclusively on Prime Instant Video in the US and UK. Starring Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), Judith Light (Dallas), Gaby Hoffmann (Girls), Amy Landecker (Louie) and Jay Duplass (Togetherness), Transparent follows the Pfeffermans—a Los Angeles family forced to deal with their long-held secrets together.
Written, directed and executive produced by Emmy-nominee and 2013 Sundance Best Director winner Soloway, Transparent is
a ten episode, half hour novelistic series that explores family,
identity, sex, and love. The series stars Tambor as Maura, who has spent
her life as Mort—the Pfefferman family patriarch. When she
reintroduces herself to her family, everyone’s secrets finally start to
come out. This includes her ex-wife Shelly (played by Light), and their
children—meandering Ali (played by Hoffmann), record
producer Josh (played by Duplass), and sexually conflicted Sarah (played
by Landecker). Each family member spins in a different direction as they begin to figure out who they are going to become.
