Cyrus has previous acting experience, with roles in christmas comedies The Night Before and A Very Murray Christmas although Woody Allen, in a tongue and cheek manner, already seems to be regretting signing up to helm the series.

 “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.”

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