Jason Schwartzman, who had his breakout role in the 1998 Wes Anderson film Rushmore, also got Amazon’s blessing for his dramedy that follows the behind-the-scenes drama at a symphony. He penned his series, Mozart in the Jungle, with Roman Coppola and Alex Timbers. Schwartzman and Coppola have worked together as a writer-actor duo on several Wes Anderson-directed films, including Moonrise Kingdom and The Darjeeling Limited.
The fourth series, Transparent, is a dark comedy written and directed by Jill Soloway (Six Feet Under and United States of Tara).
