Amazon Picks Up Ben Stiller Produced Comedy ‘Late Bloomers’

Sitcoms on Amazon Include 'Mozart in the Jungle,' 'Transparent,' 'Red Oaks' and 'Crisis in Six Scenes'

Amazon is developing a new half-hour comedy called “Late Bloomers,” which will center around a married couple in their 40s who are selected to participate in a human trial for an experimental drug therapy. The drug purports to be able to stop the aging process, and the couple quickly finds out how extending their life could impact their relationships, careers, and ambitions.

Red Hour, headed up by Ben Stiller and Nicky Weinstock, along with One-Two Punch Productions, ITV Studios and Victor Levin (“Mad Men”), will executive produce the project. No casting for “Late Bloomers” has been announced at press time.
