Woody Allen has signed a deal with Amazon Studios to write and direct his first television series. 

伍迪·艾伦已经与亚马逊工作室签订了协议，将首次编剧并执导电视剧。 

 
Untitled Woody Allen Project will be a half-hour series and already has a full-season order from Amazon. The series will be distributed via Prime Instant Video, Amazon's streaming service. 
 
"I don't know how I got into this. I have no ideas and I'm not sure where to begin. My guess is that [VP of Amazon Studios] Roy Price will regret this," Allen said in a press release announcing the news. The company didn't say when the show would become available. 
 
The announcement comes as Amazon's original TV content rides high from a strong showing at the Golden Globes. Transparent1 took home two major awards -- best comedy TV series and best actor in a comedy TV series for Jeffrey Tambor. Digital networks like Amazon and Netflix have become major players for high-quality original content. 
 
Allen, however, comes with a large dose of controversy2. Accusations3 of child molestation4 by the legendary5 writer and director resurfaced during last year's Golden Globes. Allen had been honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, leading his former partner Mia Farrow and her son Ronan Farrow to tweet about the accusations. Allen was originally accused of the acts by his adopted daughter Dylan more than 20 years ago. Charges against Allen were filed, but eventually dropped. Allen has vehemently6 denied the allegations. 
 
Controversy or no, Allen gives Prime a top-tier talent that won't be found anywhere else. In the arms race for talent, there are not many names like Allen, who has written and directed dozens of movies and won four Oscars. 
 
Amazon has been steadily7 adding to the media offerings that come included in Prime membership. In the past year, Amazon has added streaming music, unlimited8 photo storage and high-definition 4K video streaming. 
 
Television has been a main focus of Amazon's media acquisitions. A deal struck in April 2014 brought a large chunk9 of HBO's back catalogue to Prime, including The Sopranos and The Wire. 
 
The company has also rolled out hardware to make its media more accessible on televisions, including the Amazon Fire TV box and the Fire TV Stick.
