Not only has Amazon gotten onboard the original streaming content bus, but it appears to be taking a page from rival streamers Netflix's book. It's been reported by Variety that Amazon will premiere all ten episodes of Season Two of its John Goodman-led original series Alpha House at once. So to all the binge-watchers out there... you're welcome!
The political comedy series created by Garry Trudeau will be released this coming Oct. 24 on Amazon.
This aforementioned model proves to be quite different from the series' Season 1 release, in which the company dropped the first three episodes for free in order to try and get more subscribers for their Amazon Prime service. The rest of the season was then released week-by-week. Season 2, on the other hand, will be released all at once on Amazon's Prime Instant Video service in the United States, United Kingdom and Germany.
Roy Price, Vice President of Amazon Studios, recently stated, "We are grateful that Garry Trudeau took an extended hiatus from his Doonesbury daily strip to focus his time on producing an incredible second season of Alpha House. Customers are going to love the new season, particularly with election season on the horizon."
Season 2 of Alpha House will feature the main cast and will welcome in the return of a number of guest stars, including Wanda Sykes, Amy Sedaris, Julie White, and more.
Further names reportedly on the bill for Season 2 are Bill Murray, Penn Jillette, Bravo's Andy Cohen and NBC's TODAY hosts Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie.
