Three half-hour comedy pilots will be available starting Aug. 19: I Love Dick, which comes from Transparent creator Jill Soloway and stars Kevin Bacon, the hilarious Kathryn Hahn and An American Werewolf in London star Griffin Dunne; Jean-Claude Van Johnson, a meta comedy that stars action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme as an action movie superstar/secret agent; and The Tick, a reboot of a beloved ’90s comic book character.
“Nowhere else will voices as influential as Jill Soloway and Jean-Claude Van Damme share a stage,” Joe Lewis, Amazon Studios head of half-hour series, said in a statement.
We’re excited to bring such a diverse slate of pilots to customers and we can’t wait to hear what they think.”
I Love Dick is based on a 1997 novel by Chris Kraus and is executive-produced by Transparent creator Jill Soloway, who also directed the pilot.
