TRANSPARENT: Watch the First Teaser for the Musical Finale

TRANSPARENT is wrapping up its run with a musical finale, and Prime Video released the first footage of the episode.

Per Prime Video, the finale is “inspired by the classic musicals that shaped a culture. When the Pfeffermans face a life-changing loss, they begin a journey hilarious and melancholy, brazen and bold. As they face this new transition, they confront grief and come together to celebrate connection, joy, and transformation.” The special has original music by Faith Soloway.

The episode will include cast Judith Light, Gaby Hoffmann, Amy Landecker, Jay Duplass, Alexandra Billings, Kathryn Hahn, Shakina Nayfack, and Trace Lysette. (Original series star Jeffrey Tambor exited the series after being accused of sexual harassment.)

TRANSPARENT Renewed for Season 2 by Amazon

TRANSPARENT debuted on Amazon less than two weeks ago, and the response was so impressive, Amazon Studios already made the call to renew it for a second season.

“We are absolutely thrilled that the response to Transparent has been so positive,” said Roy Price, Vice President of Amazon Studios in a statement. “Our goal is to create series that customers love, so it’s great to hear that TRANSPARENT has not only risen to the no. 1 series on Prime Instant Video, but that it’s deemed ‘binge worthy’ as well. Given all this great feedback, it only makes sense to bring the Pfeffermans back next year in season two.”

According to Amazon (which doesn’t make streaming numbers available), “Prime members are finding it very hard to step away from all ten episodes of TRANSPARENT. Since its debut, TRANSPARENT is the most binge-watched TV series on Prime Instant Video with nearly 80 percent of all viewers binging on two or more episodes of the series in the same day. This makes TRANSPARENT’s binge-factor higher than any of the other Prime Instant Video binge leaders in the past.”

Season 2 of TRANSPARENT will bow sometime in 2015.
