Miley Cyrus returns to acting as she gets cast in Woody Allen TV series

Miley Cyrus was only ecstatic as she revealed to her Instagram followers yesterday that she had landed a role in Woody Allen's upcoming TV series. 

The six-part series that is as-yet unnamed, is set to debut on Amazon's live streaming service and begins shooting in March. 

The drama/ comedy series is to be set in 1960's and will have a short first season of six half-hour long episodes. 

Miley Cyrus will co-star with Woody himself as well as screen veteran Elaine May. 

The 23-year-old shared a picture on social media of some Woody Allen artwork she had in her room as she gushed about the opportunity. 

"F*ck yeah ! Stoked to be in Woody Allen's first series!!!!!

"I had claimed 2016 to be my year of 'chillin the f*ck out' but next to my bed for a few years now has been this portrait of W.A. & I was looking into his eyes when I got the call to be a part of the cast.

"And work alongside the bad a$$ Elaine May & da dude himself! 1960zzzz here I cummmmm."

However, the man himself does not seem as stoked about the series as he said at the Cannes Film Festival that accepting the series deal was a "catastrophic mistake."

"I thought six half-hour [episodes] would be a cinch, but it's not. It's very hard. I'm not good at it, I'm floundering," said the 80-year-old last year. 

"It could be a cosmic embarrassment. I just hope I don't disappoint Amazon."
