"Amazon continues to expand its genre roster. The retail giant and streamer has handed out a straight-to-series order for a Tales From the Loop drama based on Simon Stalenhag's art.
The eight-episode drama is a co-production between Fox 21 TV Studios and Amazon Studios. Legion's Nathaniel Halpern will serve as showrunner and exec producer. Mark Romanek (Never Let Me Go) will direct the pilot and exec produce alongside Halpern. Matt Reeves (Netflix's space drama Away, Felicity) will exec produce via his Sixth & Idaho banner alongside Adam Kassan. Rafi Crohn, who is working with Reeves on Fox drama The Passage, also exec produces. Swedish production and management company Indio, founded by Mattias Montero and Johan Lindstrom, will also exec produce the series, which is its first U.S. foray. The company's Samantha Taylor Pickett also exec produces. The series will debut globally on Amazon in more than 200 countries and territories.
"Simon Stalenhag's paintings are renowned for their vision of a not-too-distant, futuristic landscape. We are looking forward to bringing that to life and sharing it with our Prime Video audience,” said Albert Cheng, co-head of television at Amazon Studios.
Amazon's Tales From the Loop explores the town of people who live above "The Loop," a machine built to unlock and explore the mysteries of the universe, making things possible that were previously relegated to science fiction. In the fantastical, mysterious town, poignant human tales are told that bare universal emotional experiences while drawing on the intrigue of storytelling."
