  • Good news for fans of Amazon’s recent round of pilots–4 of them have been greenlit for full series runs.

    The shows that have been picked up include X-Files creator Chris Carter’s post-apocalyptic series The After; Bosch, based on the Michael Connelly book series of the same name; Mozart in the Jungle, a comedy series from Roman Coppola and Jason Schwartzman; and Transparent, starring Jeffrey Tambor.

    The fifth adult pilot, The Rebels, has been put on hold. Amazon also debuted 5 kids pilots at the same time. No word on those yet.

    Bosch was also able to drum up some excitement with its pilot.

The After and Bosch are the very first drama pilots ever ordered to full series by Amazon–the studio had previously produce full runs of a couple of comedy shows Alpha House and Betas, the former of which has been granted a second season.
