Amazon and Jill Soloway's 'I Love Dick' premieres in May

Who loves Dick? Jill Soloway and Amazon do because their new show is coming sooner than we thought. I Love Dick stars Kathryn Hahn and Griffin Dune as an ailing couple that moves to Marfa, Texas so Dune can learn under professor Kevin Bacon's artist tutelage. The couple eventually falls for Bacon, leading to an odd sexual standoff between the two.

The show also features Roberta Colindrez, Adhir Kalyan and Phoebe Robinson. We reviewed Dick back in August and said its pilot was worth a watch. Amazon picked the show up in September alongside Jean Claude Van Johnson and a The Tick revival. Soloway also has a third show on the way with her Transparent writer Ethan Kuperberg. 

Amazon picks up 'I Love Dick,' 'Jean-Claude Van Johnson,' and 'The Tick' to series

Move over Netflix and Hulu because Amazon is taking in all the comedies. Coming off of another successful pilot season, Amazon has officially picked up three new series. I Love Dick, Jean-Claude Van Johnson, and The Tick will all grace the service for full seasons beginning next year. Deadline caught up with Amazon Studios' head of Half Hour Series Joe Lewis  who lauded the new shows: "These pilots were vast in scope, disruptive in tone, challenging in story and sometimes even funny."

I Love Dick stars Kathryn Hahn as a woman who moved to Marfa, Texas with her writer husband who is working for Kevin Bacon's mysterious mentor. Jean-Claude Van Johnson stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as an aging actor/James Bond-type. And The Tick is a refresh of the cult comic series about the heroic blue clad, antennae laden man. We reviewed each of the shows and praised all three.

Jill Soloway can't stop making Amazon shows

Remember a few years ago when TV was stalling on innovative or creative ideas? The industry has been out of that slump for some time now and streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu are proving it. Amazon is tripling down on Jill Soloway with the announcement that the writer/creator is taking on another series on the delivery service's video site.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Soloway is going back into business with Transparent writer Ethan Kuperberg to do a show about "a woman's search for love and self-discovery in Los Angeles." However, what sets this show a part is that it will be a musical! And it'll be a comedy! But there's no telling if it's the same type of "comedy" as Transparent or less sad comedy. This marks the third project from Soloway and Amazon, who have an overall deal; a second show called I Love Dick is coming too.
