Mozart in the Jungle will be returning for a third season as just announced by Amazon. The series, which recently picked up two Golden Globes, will start shooting season three later this year. Mozart in the Jungle stars Golden Globe winner Gael Garcia Bernal, Lola Kirke, Saffron Burrows, Malcolm McDowell, Bernadette Peters, Hannah Dunne, and Jason Schwartzman. Schwartzman, Roman Coppola, and Paul Weitz executive produce.
“Mozart in the Jungle bursts with creativity and passion, and offers audiences something truly unique,” stated 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.”
The half hour comedy/drama is based on Blair Tindall’s memoir, Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs & Classical Music.
In response to the show’s renewal, Schwartzman said, “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.”
Mozart in the Jungle Plot:
What happens behind the curtains at the symphony is just as captivating as what happens on stage. Created by Paul Weitz (About a Boy), Roman Coppola (The Darjeeling Limited), and Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore). Brash new maestro Rodrigo (Garcia Bernal) is stirring things up, and young oboist Hailey (Kirke) hopes for her big chance.
