A few weeks ago, amazon.com stuck its toe–well, really its whole foot–into the ‘original programming’ pond by offering up a whole selection of half-hour pilots for public viewing and voting. They have now counted the votes, and five of those shows–three for kids two for grown-ups–have been greenlighted for a full multi-episode season
Yara Martinez
Created by the legendary Garry Trudeau of Doonesbury fame, Alphas is a live-action satirical series about four senators forced to room together in modern Washington, D.C….and their most recent edition is Latino senator Andy Guzman, played by Mark Consuelos. John Goodman is the best known of the four, but it’s definitely an ensemble show, with Consuelos firmly in the middle. Yara Martinez–who appeared in the pilot as a beautiful power broker–is in an open-ended role that may or may not be part of the next 13 episodes. We’ll see for sure as production begins for a fall 2013 release.
You can still see the pilot for free on amazon.com, right here.
