Transparent finale trailer reveals the Phefferman family reacting to the DEATH of Jeffrey Tambor's Maura with a bizarre stage musical
Amazon Prime Video has released the first trailer for the long-awaited Transparent Musical Finale, which teases how the show will wrap up without longtime series lead Jeffrey Tambor.
After Tambor was ousted from the show in February 2018, following two separate accusations of sexual misconduct, it was first believed that the subsequent season would be the show's last, before it was confirmed to be a two-hour musical special.
The brief trailer (courtesy of Amazon Prime Video YouTube), opens with a phone ringing and Shelly (Judith Light) answering, hearing Davina (Alexandra Billings) say, 'Maura's dead.'
