Amazon has given a series order to “I’m a Virgo” from Boots Riley with Jharrel Jerome attached to star.

The half-hour series is a co-production between Amazon Studios and Media Res. It is described as an absurdist, coming of age story about a 13-foot-tall Black man (Jerome) who lives in Oakland, CA.

Riley wrote the series and will also direct. He serves as executive producer along with Michael Ellenberg of Media Res, Tze Chun, and Jerome.

“I’m thrilled to be working with Amazon on this project,” said Riley. “This show will either have me lauded or banned, and as such, I have demanded payment up front.”
