AMAZON PILOT PRESENTATIONS
Amazon Prime Video, 3:00 a.m. ET
Amazon’s tradition of revealing its pilot presentations, and allowing viewers to watch and vote and for buzz to build, has been going on for years now – and last time around, offered us an early look at Frank Spotnitz’s The Man in the High Castle, a bold new series better than any broadcast network TV drama this fall. High Castle arrives, the entire Season 1, later this month on Amazon. Today, meanwhile, the streaming service presents its newest crop. Included in the mix: Comedian Tig Notaro playing a TV version of herself in One Mississippi (pictured), a series about her straddling the worlds of comedy and cancer, co-written with Diablo Cody and with Louis C.K. as one of the executive producers. Also included: Z: The Beginning of Everything, starring Christina Ricci as Zelda Sayre, who would be much more identifiable, and iconic, once she married an author, and became the not unflappable flapper Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald. These pilots and more are available, beginning today, on the Amazon streaming website.
