Amazon Instant Video subscribers will be able to watch seven new original pilots including hour-long shows Cocked, Mad Dogs, Man in the High Castle and Point of Honor; half-hour shows Down Dog and Salem Rogers, and documentary series The New Yorker Presents, said the company.

Amazon will also roll out six new kids pilots, including Buddy: Tech Detective, Sara Solves It, The Stinky & Dirty Show, Niko and the Sword of Light, Table 58 and Just Add Magic, said network officials.

As with past Amazon pilot seasons, customers will be invited to watch and provide feedback on the shows they want to see turned into full series. All pilots will be available through the Amazon Instant Video app on such devices as Amazon Fire TV, iPads, Roku, Xbox, PlayStation and Wii, as well as through  Amazon.com/AIV to watch online.

 “We are working with great storytellers on some fascinating ideas for the year’s first pilot season,” said Roy Price, Vice President, Amazon Studios. “We look forward to seeing our customers’ response to these new projects.”
