From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Woody Allen’s first foray into television has been in development for a while now, but it seems we’ll finally get to see it in the autumn.
Amazon confirmed at the Television Critics Association that the six-episode show will premiere on Prime on 30 September, 2016.
It is titled Crisis in Six Scenes and stars Miley Cyrus, Elaine May, John Magaro, and Rachel Brosnahan, though judging by the first clip from it, Woody Allen (who wrote and directed every episode, naturally) seems to play a large role too.
Oh and about that first clip - as much as I want this show to be great, you might want to prepare to launch yourself behind the sofa:
Crisis in Six Scenes will be a standalone season and not have a second, taking place in the 1960s during turbulent times in the U.S., when a middle-class suburban family is visited by a guest who turns their household upside down.
It will be joined in Amazon’s “month of comedy” by new show Fleabag and season 3 of Transparent.
