Starring Gael Garcia Bernal (Rosewater), Saffron Burrows (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Hannah Dunne (Frances Ha), Lola Kirke (Gone Girl), Malcolm McDowell (The Mentalist) and Peter Vack (I Just Want My Pants Back), Mozart in the Jungle draws back the  curtain at the New York Symphony, where artistic dedication and creativity  collide with mind games, politicking and survival instincts.

Based on the critically acclaimed memoir Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs &  Classical Music by Blair Tindall, Mozart  in the Jungle is seen through the eyes of a young oboist, Hailey (Kirke),  who tries to navigate through the egos and eccentricities of the renowned New  York symphony, and new conductor Rodrigo (Bernal), an enfant terrible  whose passion for music threatens the plans of the orchestra’s old guard.   That old guard is represented by Thomas (McDowell), the reluctantly  outgoing conductor, and Gloria (Peters), the chairwoman of the board, who  wonder what they have wrought by bringing Rodrigo into the fold. The musicians  themselves, a colourful family of disparate personalities, are struggling to  deal with this new regime. Along with her friends Alex (played by Vack), a  dancer on the brink of success, Cynthia (Burrows), a worldly cellist, and  Lizzie (played by Dunne), a world class partier, Hailey searches for what it  means to dedicate your life to music.

“We’re thrilled to be working with a great team bringing  to life this fascinating world,” said Roy Price, Vice President, Amazon  Studios. “The remarkable talent in front of and behind the camera have shepherded  a story of passion and dedication that we hope will resonate with our  customers.”

“When Jason first brought me the book, Mozart in the  Jungle, and suggested that it would make an interesting premise for a  television show—I felt immediately and instinctively, that it would be such a fascinating world to  learn about and to portray on film,” said Roman Coppola.  “I hope that the  viewers who get a chance to see our show will be as deeply drawn into this  world as we were.”

Other guest stars in Mozart  in the Jungle include Debra  Monk (Damages) as Betty, Wallace Shawn (Gossip Girl) as Winslow, Mackenzie Leigh (General Hospital) as Addison, Nora Arnezeder (Safe House) as Ana Maria, Jerry Adler (The Good Wife) as Lazlo, John Hodgman (Arthur) as Marlon, and Santino Fontana (Frozen) as Mozart. The series is  co-Executive Produced by Alex Timbers, and  Produced by Michael Zakin and Caroline Baron. Weitz and  Coppola directed episodes, along with Bart Freundlich, Adam Brooks, Daryl Wein, Tricia Brock and Daisy Mayer.
