Miley Cyrus confirms role in Woody Allen’s Amazon TV series

Miley Cyrus has confirmed her role in Woody Allen’s forthcoming TV series. Following rumours regarding the director’s new venture, the pop star has said that she will star in the new 1960s-set show, which will air on Amazon Prime.

In a post on Instagram, the 23-year-old entertainer announced that she would be working alongside Allen and the comic performer and writer Elaine May for half-hour episodes. Cyrus, who recently starred in Bill Murray’s Netflix special A Very Murray Christmas, said she was “stoked” to be hired for the job.

I had claimed 2016 to be my year of “chillin the fuck out” but next to my bed for a few years now has been this portrait of W.A. & I was looking into his eyes when I got the call to be apart of the cast and work alongside the bad a$$ Elaine May & da dude himself! 1960zzzz here I cummmmm

According to Deadline, the as-yet-untitled series will start shooting in March.

“Woody Allen is a visionary creator who has made some of the greatest films of all-time, and it’s an honour to be working with him on his first television series,” Amazon Studios head Roy Price said in a earlier press statement.

“I don’t know how I got into this,” Allen said. “I have no ideas and I’m not sure where to begin. My guess is that Roy Price will regret this.”

In recent years, Cyrus’ career has been built around her music and philanthropy, but she first rose to fame at the age of 11 as an actor in the Disney Channel TV show Hannah Montana, a series about a schoolgirl with a secret double life as a teen pop star.
