Amazon has tallied your votes, you people of the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, and this is what you hath wrought. According to Variety, the following series have all been picked up by Amazon Studios, following the success of their pilots:
The Man in the High Castle

Dick's award-winning novel, and executive produced by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner), The Man in the High Castle explores what it would be like if the Allied Powers had lost WWII, and Japan and Germany ruled the United States.

Mad Dogs

The New Yorker Presents

Official Amazon Synopsis: America's most award-winning magazine comes to life in this new half-hour docu-series. Produced by Oscar & Emmy winner Alex Gibney, the pilot features a doc from Oscar winner Jonathan Demme based on Rachel Aviv's article "A Very Valuable Reputation," writer Ariel Levy interviewing artist Marina Abramovic, a sketch from Simon Rich and Alan Cumming, poetry read by Andrew Garfield, and cartoons by Emily Flake.
Just Add Magic
Official Amazon Synopsis: (For children ages 6-11) - Kelly Quinn and her two BFF's, Darbie and Hannah, stumble upon her grandmother's mysterious cookbook in the attic and discover some far from ordinary recipes. When the Shut'em Up Shortcake silences Kelly's pesky little brother and the Healing Hazelnut Tart heals Darbie's ankle, the girls discover they have the power of magic. A single-camera live-action pilot based on the popular book.
The Stinky & Dirty Show
Official Amazon Synopsis: (For preschool-aged children) - The adventures of best friends and unlikely heroes, Stinky the garbage truck and Dirty the backhoe loader, a dynamic and hilarious duo of resourcefulness that learn when things don't go as expected, asking "what if" can lead to success. Based on the books by Jim and Kate McMullan. Written and developed by Guy Toubes.
Regarding these last two, Amazon is smart to develop programming for younger audiences. There is never enough quality kids programming to satisfy the demand. (Netflix has done something similar with acquiring so much children's programming for streaming as well -- a cheap and wonderful option, especially for parents who prefer to unplug from cable).
Back to the adults though, Mozart in the Jungle has also been renewed for a second season. That series, starring Gael Garcia Bernal, focuses on clashing personalities on the New York classical music scene. Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman and Paul Weitz serve as executive producers.
Those not making the pilot cut this season include Carlton Cuse's Civil-War series Point of Honor, the dark comedy Cocked, Down Dog (about a Southern California yoga instructor), and a comedy about a former supermodel leaving rehab, Salem Rogers.
Amazon Studios will also be debuting three new series in 2015, including Steven Soderbergh and David Gordon Green's Red Oaks.
The newly greenlit series will air on Amazon Prime later this year and in 2016.
