Amazon Greenlights Second Season of the Hit Dramatic Comedy Mozart in the Jungle

New season will be Executive Produced by Roman Coppola (Moonrise Kingdom), Jason Schwartzman (The Darjeeling Limited), and Paul Weitz (About a Boy)

Returning cast includes Gael Garcia Bernal (Rosewater), Saffron Burrows (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Lola Kirke (Gone Girl), and Malcolm McDowell (The Mentalist)

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2015-- (NASDAQ: AMZN)-Hear the hair! Conductor Rodrigo DeSousa, will take the stage once again in the hit Amazon Original Series Mozart in the Jungle. Amazon today announced it has greenlit a second season that will premiere early next year exclusively on Prime Instant Video. Based on the critically acclaimed memoir Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs & Classical Music by Blair Tindall, 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.

Returning to the series are stars Gael Garcia Bernal (Rosewater), Saffron Burrows (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Lola Kirke (Gone Girl), and Malcolm McDowell (The Mentalist). The second season of Mozart in the Jungle will be Executive Produced by Roman Coppola (Moonrise Kingdom), Jason Schwartzman (The Darjeeling Limited), and Paul Weitz (About a Boy). Additional details will be announced in the coming months.

The first season of Mozart in the Jungle was a big hit with our customers and I'm thrilled that we're able to produce a second season, said Roy Price, Vice President of Amazon Studios. Roman, Jason, and Paul brought viewers into this rarely-seen world of the symphony. I know fans of the series will be in for treat when the second season premieres early next year.

Jason, Paul and I are delighted to work on a second season of Mozart in the Jungle, said Roman Coppola. There are so many interesting stories we want to tell and we're looking forward to shooting another season with our wonderful cast and team of collaborators. We're grateful to all the folks at Amazon who believe in this project and support us to portray the world of our symphony in what we hope will be an interesting, fun and imaginative season of television. We cant wait for the curtain to rise on season two.

Here's what customers said about the first season of Mozart in the Jungle:

Im in love with this series! The cast is so perfect! The maestro is so perfectly cast. I love the way he says Haley. What a handsome man. Se or Dreamy.

This is the exact type of show for this format...to prove to TV networks what theyre doing wrong and why the freedom of outlets like Amazon can produce such a fresher and more interesting product.

Incredible show! Watched the entire first season in one night, loved it.

What an Amazing concept, very well executed, top notch casting, and beautiful music.
