fort Is the TV series “Manifesto” Amazon. As they mentioned Joe and Anthony Russo During a presentation meeting in Rome, a day was born Motivation by Jennifer Salke Head of Amazon Studios for years. His idea was as simple as it was effective: Imagine a TV series that could fit into the branching and international nature of the Amazon platform. So the idea was to create a world of international spies that could have ramifications in different areas where the platform is located.
to The central body of the castle was developed by David Weil Thus, different TV series created by local authors will be reconnected, among which Italian and Indian series are already in development, and Mexican and Spanish series are also being prepared.
