According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jill Soloway, the creator of Amazon's hit series TRANSPARENT, will reteam with the network for an upcoming original musical comedy.'Transparent' writer Ethan Kuperberg will pen the script based on his own original idea.

The story would center on "a woman's search for love and self-disovery in Los Angeles." The project marks Soloway's debut into the musical, comedy genre. She recently received an Emmy Award for directing the 'Best New Girl' episode of TRANSPARENT and is behind Amazon's upcoming comedy "I Love Dick," starring Kathryn Hahn and Kevin Bacon.

Kuperberg is no stranger to musical comedy. He helmed a 17-minute college recruiting video titled "That's Why I Chose Yale," which went viral online. He is also a frequent contributor to The New Yorker magazine, writing such essays as "Bernie Sanders Greets Trick-or-Treaters" and "Climate-Change Christmas Carols."
