Amazon Prime’s already laid out its September slate, which includes the season-four premiere of Jill Soloway’s hilarious and heartbreaking Transparent. And as is so often the case these days, Amazon’s studio arm has already announced an early renewal for the show. The fifth season will begin production and premiere in 2018. In a joint statement, Amazon and Soloway expressed their mutual gratitude, with the series creator saying “We are extremely grateful to Amazon Studios for their continued trust and support and to our audience for their warm embrace of the Pfeffermans. We look forward to another season of comedy and drama, love and weirdness, God and sex—in the service of community and in pursuit of peace, joy, freedom and human rights for all.”
