Amazon Instant Video Pilots: 'Browsers,' The Onion Show Get Pilot Orders

Amazon Studios has ordered six pilots for Amazon Instant Video, including "Browsers," a musical comedy set at a Huffington Post-like website. All six pilots will be hosted on Amazon Instant Video and viewer response will determine which pilots get a series order.

"Since launching our original series development effort, we have received more than 2,000 series ideas from creators around the world with all different backgrounds, and we are extremely excited to begin production on our very first set of pilots," Roy Price, director of Amazon Studios, said in a statement. "The six comedy pilots will begin production shortly, and once they are complete, we plan to post the pilots on Amazon Instant Video for feedback. We want Amazon customers to help us decide which original series we should produce."

Viewers will be able to watch all six pilots for free, but when a show goes to series it will be exclusively available to Amazon Prime members through Prime Instant Video and LOVEFILM in the UK.
