Amazon Renews 'Mozart in the Jungle' for Third Season

The Golden Globe winning series has been renewed for another season.  

Amazon has announced plans to produce a third season of its original series 'Mozart in the Jungle.' The series recently received the 2016 Golden Globe awards for "Best Musical or Comedy Series" and "Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy Series" for Gael Garcia Bernal's performance as the eccentric Rodrigo.

"Mozart in the Jungle bursts with creativity and passion, and offers audiences something truly unique," said Joe Lewis, Head of Half Hour Series, Amazon Studios. "Amazon is proud to have two of the most risky and enthralling comedy series on television today."

Based on the critically acclaimed memoir Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs & Classical Music by Blair Tindall, the multi-award winning Amazon Original Series, Mozart in the Jungle draws back the curtain at the New York Symphony, where artistic dedication and creativity collide with mind games, politicking and survival instincts. The series is executive produced by Roman Coppola (Moonrise Kingdom), Jason Schwartzman (The Darjeeling Limited) and Paul Weitz (About a Boy) and stars Gael Garcia Bernal (Rosewater), Saffron Burrows (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Hannah Dunne (Frances Ha), Lola Kirke (Gone Girl), Malcolm McDowell (The Mentalist), Peter Vack (I Just Want My Pants Back) and Bernadette Peters (Smash).

"We're grateful to Amazon for endowing our orchestra with another season. We can't wait to follow our characters through the vast world of music, whether performing on a subway platform or in the grand concert halls of Europe," said Jason Schwartzman, one of the show's executive producers.

The third season will begin production later this year and will feature many of the characters heading to Europe. Seasons one and two are currently available to Prime Members through the Amazon Video app for TVs, streaming players like the Fire TV, and mobile devices Likewise, subscribers can also access the series online at Amazon.com/mozartinthejungle. The show is available in Ultra HD with HDR on supported displays.
