Funny or frightening? Miley Cyrus under Woody Allen’s wing in TV series

Miley Cyrus will return to episodic TV for the first time since her “Hannah Montana” days when she stars with 83-year-old comedy legend Elaine May in a Woody Allen series.

“That Amazon TV show that has been the bane of Woody Allen’s existence is finally starting to take shape,” noted vulture.com. “A miserable Allen said last May that he hadn’t ‘had a pleasurable moment since I undertook it.'”

Allen wrote and and will direct six half-hour episodes set in the 1060s, with production said to begin in March.

“Hannah Montana” ran for four seasons from 2006 to January 2011. Cyrus, 23, had grown out of that bubblegum age.

Now comes the snark.

Miley is dodging texts from Wayne Coyne today like “I thought I was ur only dirty old man, why you gonna go and Woody Allen me?”
