According to Matt Bomer UK Fansite (on Facebook) and actress Kerry O'Malley (on Twitter), Season 1 of "The Last Tycoon" will consist of 9 episodes (8 new + last year's pilot). So far, no date has been set for its return to Amazon (the bets are off that it might be closer to Summer), but I will keep you updated as soon as words are out.

They really keep filming under covers (and us fans on our toes!), except for some set pics of a bunch of vintage cars and the one of Matty with one of the crew I haven't seen anything from the filming so far.
I admit I'm not that familiar with Amazon Prime series, so I don't know why they want to stray from their regular ten episodes. Anyway, we'll know for sure when they make it available, and as you said, we gladly take what they offer ;)
