Amazon has announced that its award-winning original show Transparent will be renewed for a fifth season. The announcement comes ahead of the premiere of the show’s fourth season, which will release on Sept. 22. Amazon made sure to mention in their announcement that the cast of the entire Pfefferman family will be returning.

“Over the past few seasons the Pfeffermans have gone across the world, back in time and made many, many trips to the deli,” said Joe Lewis, Amazon Studios’ Head of Comedy, Drama and VR, in a statement. “We’re so excited to see what magic Jill and the incredible team bring to this always groundbreaking series in season five.”

Transparent’s creator Jill Soloway commented:

We are extremely grateful to Amazon Studios for their continued trust and support and to our audience for their warm embrace of the Pfeffermans. We look forward to another season of comedy and drama, love and weirdness, God and sex—in the service of community and in pursuit of peace, joy, freedom and human rights for all.

The fifth season will premiere in 2018, exclusively on Amazon Prime for its members. Watch the teaser for Transparent season four here.
