@AMAZON ANNOUNCES NEW PRIMETIME SHOWS
You may remember a few months back when we mentioned that Amazon announced its intention in getting into the online content biz ala Youtube and Netflix. Welp, they recently announced a few new projects to their developmental slate and we’ve got the lowdown on each of them. Check ’em out after the jump and see if they sound like they have what it takes to go after the likes of Mondo Mini shows or Shut Up! Cartoons.
Magic Monkey Billionaire
Creator: Diana Wright
Premise: When their wealthy magician owner suddenly dies, his two animal assistants — Rabbit and Monkey — are shocked to learn that Monkey alone has been left his billions, soon unleashing the ultimate forces of good and evil as former friends turn to arch enemies.
The 100 Deaths of Mort Grimley
Premise: Mort Grimley, new to the Underworld after accidentally taking his own life, is offered a deal; get Hell’s numbers up and maybe get a transfer out (and up), or face eternity in fire and brimstone alongside the cruel mother he tried to escape.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
