How Do I Submit a New Series Idea?
A comedy series idea must include:
- A pilot script
This should be the series at its best, but not necessarily an origin story.
How long should my script be? We encourage single-cam (single-spaced) scripts to be 36 pages or fewer; multi-cam (double-spaced) scripts, 54 pages or fewer.
A children's series idea must include:
- A mini-bible
This should describe the series in general, and its main characters; tell where the series is going and whether episodes are serial or standalone; and include five or six episode ideas.
How long should my mini-bible be? Between two and six pages.
If you have video such as an animation test or pilot, you’re encouraged to upload that as well. Learn more.

What Kinds of Series
Does Amazon Studios Want?
We're looking for compelling new voices and characters that you can’t find anywhere else. Specifically, we’re seeking primetime comedies and children's series.
Comedy series should be smart, character-driven and, of course, funny.
We're also interested in original series for children. Preschool series must have an educational theme, or the potential for one.
Series can be live action, animated, stop motion or mixed media. Comedies must be 22 minutes long, while children’s series can be 11 or 22 minutes.
