Amazon Orders Full Seasons of Five New Series

Move over, "Transparent" - you're getting five new siblings on Amazon Prime Instant Video.



Amazon gave the green light to full seasons of five new series:

• "The Man in the High Castle" - Set 20 years after Allied forces lost World War II, the drama follows intrigues as tensions between the two superpowers heightens.


• "Mad Dogs" - The adaptation of the British series focuses on a group of 40-something friends who reunite for a retirement celebration.


• "The New Yorker Presents" - The half-hour docu-series will feature a mix of short films, literary work, and interviews.


• "Just Add Magic" - For kids ages 6-11, adapted from a young adult book of the same title


• "The Stinky and Dirty Show" - For preschoolers

Amazon gleaned feedback on the shows by streaming the pilots for Prime Instant users; "The Man in High Castle" was the streaming service's most-watched pilot ever.



Amazon also is giving a second season to "Mozart in the Jungle," the dramatic comedy about a brilliant, somewhat eccentric composer (Gael Garcia Bernal).
