The series is an absurdist, coming-of-age joyride about a 13-foot-tall Black man (Jerome) who lives in Oakland, California.
Riley and Jerome will executive produce with Michael Ellenberg and Tze Chun. Amazon Studios and Media Res will produce.
"I'm thrilled to be working with Amazon on this project," said Riley. "This show will either have me lauded or banned, and as such, I have demanded payment up front."
"I'm a Virgo is refreshingly original, and there's nothing else like it on television," added Albert Cheng, COO and Co-Head of Television, Amazon Studios. "No one is quite like Boots, and we're so excited to be working with him and Jharrel on this fantastical, funny, and utterly unique new series. We can't wait for our Prime Video customers to see it."
