Amazon signs with Bloom

Carnival Row co-stars Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom

Amazon Studios has signed a first-look deal with actor Orlando Bloom to create television and film projects that will launch exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.

Bloom can currently be seen in the Amazon Original series Carnival Row, alongside Cara Delevingne, which launched in 2019 on Prime Video.

He is widely known for his roles as Legolas in Peter Jackson’s Academy Award-winning trilogy The Lord of the Rings, and as Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

He recently wrapped production on two films, the first being the John Ridley-directed Needle in a Timestack opposite Freida Pinto and Leslie Odom, Jr.

“Orlando is a fantastic creative talent and collaborative partner for all of us at Studios,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. “We’re thrilled to continue working with Orlando, not only on Carnival Row but on the future projects for our Prime Video customers.”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with Jen Salke and the team at Amazon and I look forward to growing that relationship with this new and exciting production deal,” said Bloom.
