The award-wining series will return for a fourth season next year.
Ahead of its third season premiere, Amazon has already announced the renewal of its original series, 'Transparent.' The fourth season will stream exclusively through Amazon Prime Video in 2017. In addition, the upcoming third season is set to debut this fall on Prime Video in the US,
"As the quality of television rises to new heights, Transparent continues to stand out for its depth of character, compassionate storytelling and its infinite creative risk-taking," said
Written, directed and executive produced by multi-award winner Jill Soloway, 'Transparent' is a half hour novelistic series that explores family, identity, sex, and love. The series stars Jeffrey Tambor as Maura. When she reintroduces herself to her family, everyone else’s secrets finally start to come out. This includes her ex-wife Shelly (played by Judith Light), and their children—meandering Ali (played by Gaby Hoffmann), music producer Josh (played by Jay Duplass), and sexually conflicted Sarah (played by Amy Landecker). Each family member spins in a different direction as they figure out who they won’t become.
"Amazon's explosive freedom and revolutionary thinking has given birth to this show," said Soloway. "It's so much more than TV to us, it’s our version of the most ambitious streaming art we can conjure. We're having the time of our lives sharing season two for the awards season hoopla, and editing and finishing up season three for a fall release. This news of an order for season four is so so sweet. The Pfeffermans have many more stories to tell and we can’t wait to keep making them."
Seasons one and two of 'Transparent' are now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. A current Amazon Prime subscription costs $99 per year or $11 per month. Likewise, Prime Video is available as a standalone service for $8 per month.
