Widely regarded as the best of Amazon's late-2015 pilots, it's no surprise that One Mississippi is headed to a series later this year, and it'll be interesting to see if it can continue the strong work started by the pilot.

Stand-up comic Tig Notaro stars in the series, which will be a semi-autobiographical tale about a comedian living in Los Angeles who goes home to the South when her mother passes away.

The comedy will get pretty dark at times, as it takes a brutally honest look at life and death, family and grief, with some deadpan humour thrown into the mix too, and a lot of poignancy. The show was co-written by Notaro and Juno's Diablo Cody, and exectuive produced by Louis C.K.
