We are very excited to announce that Amazon has ordered its first UK drama – a period fashion drama from War and Peace co-producer Lookout Point – with investment backing from Pinewood Pictures and the Welsh Media Investment Budget. The Collection, from Pretty Little Liars and Ugly Betty exec producer Oliver Goldstick, tells the story of an extravagant Paris fashion house post World War II and follows the lives of two brothers. It marks the company’s latest step into original programming following its big-budget buy-out of Jeremy Clarkson’s new upcoming motor show and its commitment to continue the ex-BBC drama Ripper Street after it was axed by the broadcaster. “We’re delighted to be bringing such a smart, sophisticated period piece to Amazon Prime members in the UK,” said Chris Bird, film and TV strategy director, Amazon Video UK. “We aim to bring our customers the best international TV has to offer, and we’re sure our members will enjoy this window into the seemingly glamourous world of Parisian haute couture, perhaps hiding a more sinister undercurrent.” The programme will be produced in Wales and France starting next January and will air later on in the year.
