Amazon has released a slew of new TV pilots through their streaming Prime service, including intriguing new dramas like Cocked, Mad Dogs, The Man in the High Castle and Point of Honor.

Netflix Movies & Shows Premiering In February

With shows like AMC's Breaking Bad, FX's Sons of Anarchy and many more having ended, could the next great TV drama come from Amazon? That's what the corporation is looking for through their Amazon Pilot Season process. Users can watch numerous pilots, vote and give feedback on each of them.

Ultimately, one or more of these shows could go on to be the next Transparent, which debuted on the site last September and went on to win two Golden Globe Awards.

There are currently four dramas pilots to watch, each of them with a unique premise:

Cocked

As the title suggests, Cocked primarily focuses on guns and the business surrounding them. At the center is the Paxsons family, a complicated family who work at a gun business.

"Emotionally armed, physically armed, and in the business of arming others, the Paxsons fight to save their family gun company and their individual sanity," the official description reads.The cast includes Sam Trammell from True Blood, Jason Lee from My Name is Earl and Laura Fraser from Breaking Bad.

Mad Dogs

The most outrageous of the four new drama pilots may be Mad Dogs. The series centers on "underachieving 40-something friends" who get together in Belize for a retirement party for a friend. From there, "a series of wild events unfold, exposing dark secrets, deception and even murder."

The cast includes Michael Imperioli of The Sopranos, Ben Chaplin of The Thin Red Line, Billy Zane of Titanic, Steve Zahn of Dallas Buyers Club and Romany Malco of Weeds.

The Man in the High Castle

One of the more original pilot concepts, The Man in the High Castle imagines a world where the Allie Powers in World War II actually lost, allowing Germany and Japan to rule over the United States.

The show is based on the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name and stars Rufus Sewell of John Adams, Luke Kleintank of Pretty Little Liars and Alexa Davalos of Mob City.

Point of Honor


The final drama pilot is Point of Honor, which also centers on a war, with this one taking place at the start of the Civil War.

"At the start of the Civil War, a prominent Virginia family makes the controversial decision to defend the South while freeing all of their slaves, pitting the family against one another and testing their strength, courage and love," the synopsis reads.

With a cast of lesser known actors, this pilot was co-written by Carlton Cuse of Lost and Randall Wallace of Braveheart.

Amazon users can watch each of these pilots and take a survey to allow their voice to be heard on these shows. Any one of them could be the breakout drama Amazon needs to continue their original programming success.
