Mozart in the Jungle, the dramatization of Blair Tindall's tell-all memoir about sex and drugs in the New York music scene, apparently struck a chord with viewers. Amazon Studios recently announced that the pilot will be made into a 10-episode series.
Ten different pilots were originally up for consideration, and Amazon Studios chose four of those pilots to make into series, based on viewer feedback and ratings.
A total of 3,440 viewers gave the Mozart in the Jungle pilot an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars.
The pilot, starring Malcolm McDowell, Gael García Bernal and Lola Kirke, focuses on professional rivalries and sexual liaisons between two groups of musicians: those who are members of the "New York Symphony" and those who would do just about anything to get in.
The series will be created by the team of Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman and Alex Timbers.
Amazon Studios recently filmed a pilot episode of Mozart in the Jungle, a proposed web video series that looks beyond classical music's image of polished perfection to reveal behind-the-scenes stories full of sex, drama and political infighting.
