In Étoile, the new series fromAmy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino(Gilmore Girls, The Fabulous Mrs. Maisel), the world of ballet becomes the stage for an ambitious artistic experiment between Paris and New York. This dramatic comedy follows two major ballet companies who, in search of renewal, decide to swap their star dancers to save their respective institutions.
At the heart of the story are Charlotte Gainsbourg as Parisian director Geneviève, and Luke Kirby as Jack, director of the New York troupe. Opposite them, a new generation of dancers and artists tries to find its place in a demanding world of tradition and contemporary upheaval.
Étoile will be broadcast on Prime Video from April 24, 2025.
Synopsis: Two world-renowned ballet companies, one based in New York and the other in Paris, take a daring gamble: to save their historic institutions, they decide to exchange their most talented recruits.
Aimed at an audience sensitive to the world of live performance, Étoile could appeal to fans of classical dance, elegant comedy-dramas and series rooted in rich cultural contexts. Amy Sherman-Palladino's distinctive style, marked by rhythmic dialogue and complex characters, is combined here with a visual exploration of ballet, rarely treated in depth on television.
The cast combines well-known French figures such as Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou de Laâge, with well-known American actors such as Gideon Glick and Yanic Truesdale, adding a transatlantic dimension that reinforces the series' message.
Viewers with little sensitivity to the artistic world or to choral storytelling may be less moved by this narrative focused on troupe dynamics, institutional issues and the characters' internal conflicts.
With Étoile, Amy Sherman-Palladino returns with an original series combining choreography, artistic ambition and human portraits, supported by a first-rate international cast. Set between Paris and New York, this dance drama will appeal to fans of demanding, sensitive and visually stunning series.
