On her Instagram account, Cyrus confirmed on Monday she had
been cast for the show, posting a photo of a painting of Allen
and saying in an expletive-laced message she was "stoked to be
in Woody Allen's first series!!!!!"
Cyrus, whose career path took her from Disney star to
provocative pop singer, will star alongside Allen and Elaine May
in the six half-hour-episode series that will take place in the
1960s, Hollywood news site Deadline reported.
It begins shooting in March, Deadline reported.
The project, which is due for release later this year, has not
been named, the New York Times reported.
Allen's projects over the years have attracted top acting and
celebrity talent, despite a much lower salary than many of his
stars can command in Hollywood.
