Last month Amazon released 14 new pilots simultaneously, eight comedies and six children's shows. The outlet's plan was to analyze the reaction to these initial 14 to decide which they’d commit to with a full series order. It's already been confirmed that the most high-profile of the potential pilots, Zombieland, will not be receiving a series order. Indeed, Zombieland co-writer Rhett Reese took to twitter to say that he felt that fan pre-hate effectively killed the pilot.
According to Deadline, Amazon has decided to pick-up Alpha House, the D.C.-set political comedy starring John Goodman and written by Garry Trudeau and Betas, the Silicone Valley-set comedy which was produced by Michael London and written by Evan Endicott and Josh Stoddard.
No word yet on the other potential series, including one of our favorites Those Who Can't, though things reportedly look positive for The Onion News Empire. We will keep you updated as details emerge.
