Avengers: Infinity War's directors Joe and Anthony Russo have landed a new TV series with Amazon.

Which is all you’re allowed to know, for now. Entertainment Weekly has offered this mysterious statement on behalf of Amazon Studios: “The origin mothership series will function as a fire-starter to ignite the creation of multiple original local language and local production series.”

“All of the local series are meant to enhance the entire entertainment experience and will be available for the viewer to deep dive into an imagined layered world.”

“The Russo Brothers have impacted the pop culture barometer of creative excellence with their vision for both Avengers: Infinity War and Captain America: Civil War,” added Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios. “They brought a level of scale and execution to those films that has raised the bar for audiences everywhere and we can’t wait for them to do the same for us on this project for our Amazon Prime Customer.”

“We are thrilled to be working with Joe and Anthony Russo and their AGBO Studios as they build this incredible, multifaceted, international franchise.”

No mention is there whether the series may be a drama (a superhero franchise even, to reflect the Russo Brothers’ monumental work with Marvel) or a comedy, where the Russos actually have their background, directing episodes of Arrested Development and Community.
