The award-winning series’ third season has yet to premiere.
Amazon announced the renewal of its long-running series Transparent for a fourth season.
Jill Soloway will stay on board as showrunner and Andrea Sperling as executive producer. All cast members are making a return, including Jeffrey Tambor, Gaby Hoffman, Judith Light, Amy Landecker and Jay Duplass.
The show’s fourth season renewal came as a surprise to many, as the third season has yet to air this fall.
“As the quality of television rises to new heights, Transparent continues to stand out for its depth of character, compassionate storytelling and its infinite creative risk-taking,” Amazon Studios’ Joe Lewis stated in a press release. “We’re grateful that customers have responded so enthusiastically to the Pfefferman family and we’re excited to bring them another chapter of their story.”
Soloway followed suit, adding, “Amazon’s explosive freedom and revolutionary thinking has given birth to this show. It’s so much more than TV to us, it’s our version of the most ambitious streaming art we can conjure. We’re having the time of our lives sharing season two for the awards season hoopla, and editing and finishing up season three for a fall release. This news of an order for season four is so so sweet. The Pfeffermans have many more stories to tell and we can’t wait to keep making them.”
The Web-only series has earned two Golden Globes, five Emmys, and various DGA and PGA awards. Most have been in recognition of Tambor for his starring role as Maura Pfefferman, a patriarch who makes a transgender lifestyle change and now identifies as Maura.
The series’ fourth season is set to return via Amazon’s Prime video in 2017.
