Quite a lot of talk has started erupting about the new slate of Amazon pilots, specifically with Tig Notaro's One Mississippi, which pairs her with producer Louis C.K., who helped her reach national prominence...to a degree, of course. We'll have to see if the show gets a bigger commitment from Amazon, or any of the other new series that are being looked at on the streaming service currently. For now, however, Amazon Prime's attention would seemingly be chiefly on its flagship program, Jill Solway's magnificent Transparent, which features Jeffrey Tambor as the transexual parent of a trio of confused and frustrated twenty-or-thirty-something children. The first season rightly wrapped up a ton of accolades from several awards, big-time critics, and social-awareness organizations, and now, we have our first taste of Season 2, which will premiere on Amazon Prime come December 11th, with confirmed guest roles from Anjelica Huston and Cherry Jones.

Check out the trailer for Transparent Season 2 below:


The short scene works as a sort of symbol for the series, in which just as the family is starting to find a real bond and general cohesion, a personal issue or affront disturbs the balance; the picturesque image of a staged family photo hides a teeming river of idiosyncrasies, beliefs, and sensitivities. It's a nice tease for one of quickly dwindling year's most anticipated returning series, and Amazon has clearly shown its confidence in the series by renewing the show for Season 3 a solid month before Season 2 is even available; the poster for the new season, via Mashable, can be seen below. This is hugely encouraging news for one of the more progressive series to currently running on television or on any of the streaming services, which features a stellar cast beyond Tambor, including Judith Light, Jay Duplass, Amy Landecker, and Girls co-star Gaby Hoffmann. No matter what might be coming in Season 2, it's nice to see the family back together.
