Amazon Studios has announced that it is teaming with Avengers: Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo’s AGBO Studios on what is being described as “a large-scope international event series”.
Details on the project are being kept tightly under wraps, but Deadline reports that Amazon has described the series as “a groundbreaking global television franchise”, in which “the Russo Brothers will have the creative freedom to oversee an ambitious concept meant to … redefine the boundaries of storytelling.”
“The Russo Brothers have impacted the pop culture barometer of creative excellence with their vision for both Avengers: Infinity War and Captain America: Civil War,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios. “They brought a level of scale and execution to those films that has raised the bar for audiences everywhere and we can’t wait for them to do the same for us on this project for our Amazon Prime Customer. We are thrilled to be working with Joe and Anthony Russo and their AGBO Studios as they build this incredible, multifaceted, international franchise.”
In addition to working on next year’s Avengers 4, the Russos have a number of TV projects in the works through their AGBO production company including the comic book adaptation Deadly Class [watch the first trailer here], a TV adaptation of Walter Hill’s cult classic The Warriors, and crime drama Mastermind alongside Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) and Noah Hawley (Legion).
