In 2017, trans actressesVan BarnesandTrace Lysetteaccused Tambor of sexual harassment. Amazon investigated the claims and ended up firing Tambor, which is why his character Maura is nowhere to be found in this teaser trailer. This isn’t a final season of the show as much as it’s a two-hour movie musical that brings the story to a close.
“There are no words, no way to go back to a plain old season 5 and try to repair by going back,” Solowaysaid previously. “We dared ourselves, took all the songs [my sister] has been writing. She’d already been writing songs for a possibleTransparentmusical on Broadway five years down the line…The show isn’t necessarily ending. It’s transitioning into a musical.”
Here’s the official description:
THE TRANSPARENT MUSICALE FINALE takes the beloved Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning series TRANSPARENT to new heights as a dazzling two-hour movie musical fantasia. When the Pfeffermans face a life-changing loss, they begin a journey hilarious and melancholy, brazen and bold.
