Woody Allen is making his first TV show, but you won't see it on TV. Amazon has ordered a full season of a new series, currently titled Untitled Woody Allen Project, which will be written and directed by the filmmaker.

"I don't know how I got into this. I have no ideas and I'm not sure where to begin," Allen said in a statement. "My guess is that Roy Price will regret this."

No details on the series, aside from its half-hour running time, were released. The show will be on Amazon Prime with more details to come.

"Woody Allen is a visionary creator who has made some of the greatest films of all-time, and it's an honor to be working with him on his first television series," Roy Price, vice president of Amazon Studios, said in a statement. "From Annie Hall to Blue Jasmine, Woody has been at the creative forefront of American cinema and we couldn't be more excited to premiere his first TV series exclusively on Prime Instant Video next year."

Amazon's critically acclaimed Transparent just won the Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series and its star Jeffrey Tambor took home the Best Actor in a Comedy Series award for his portrayal of transgender woman Maura Pfefferman.
