Amazon Studios -- the retailer's venture into the world of on-demand video -- announced its first four projects Saturday, including a handful of comedies and a children's program.
The comedies include an animated show about Hell, a "mockumentary" about the end of the world and another series about a magician's helpers turned arch-rivals. The children's show features a sheep named Buck with a penchant for high-speed driving.
The service will go head-to-head with other on-demand streaming platforms that have also been introducing original content, including Hulu and Netflix.
