Amazon Studios is producing five original series, comedies “Alpha House” and “Betas,” along with kids’ shows “Annebots,” “Creative Galaxy” and “Tumbleaf” made available via the Internet retailer’s subscription video service starting later in 2013.

“Alpha House” features John Goodman, and was penned by Academy Award nominee and Pulitzer-Prize winner Garry Trudeau. This comedy about four misfit senators turned unlikely roommates (Clark Johnson, Matt Malloy and Mark Consuelos) who rent a house together in Washington DC.

“Betas” is written by Evan Endicott and Josh Stoddard, a Silicon Valley comedy that follows four friends as they attempt to find fame and fortune with a new app. Ed Begley Jr., Jon Daly, Joe Dinicol, Charlie Saxton and Karan Soni star in the show. Michael Lehmann will direct and produce the show along with Emmy Award winners Alan Freedland and Alan Cohen, and Academy Award nominee Michael London, according to Variety.
Amazon Studios reportedly has 24 movies on its development slate, and will continue to test all concepts with audiences.
