Paul is an original French series unveiled at Prime Video Presents 2025. Created by Paul Mirabel himself, it blends fiction and reality, recounting the misadventures of a young humorist who draws inspiration from his own life to construct a story that is both funny and touching. Produced by Iconozon (an Iconoclast company), the series relies on an offbeat tone and a singular sense of humor, true to its creator's universe.
Synopsis: At almost 30, Paul Mirabel has sold Amazon the recording of his show and a documentary about his life. Problem: he hasn't written a new show, has no archive footage and has embellished reality a little. How far will this lie take him? Between a bluff, a childhood love resurfacing and everyday misunderstandings, Paul tries to juggle a life that's slipping away from him.
Paul will soon be streaming on Prime Video. The release date has not yet been announced.
Drawing on his own career, Paul Mirabel transposes his absurdist humor and singular personality into a fictional format. The series takes an original look at the profession of humorist, between reality and invention, and offers a mise en abyme that should appeal to fans of stand-up as well as modern comedy.
The series was created by Paul Mirabel and co-written with Mourad Winter, Yoann Gromb and Nathanael Munnich. Director Antoine de Bary and Nathanael Munnich bring a cinematic touch to this hybrid fiction/comedy project. The cast also includes Abraham Wapler, Enya Baroux, Eva Huault and Marine Leonardi.
The series should appeal first and foremost to stand-up fans and fans of Paul Mirabel, whose reputation has grown steadily in recent years. It will also appeal to those who like modern, offbeat comedy, in the tradition of creations such as Loudermilk or Master of None, where humor and introspection mingle.
Paul promises to be a funny and original series, built around the singular personality of its creator. By mixing fiction and reality, it illustrates Prime Video's desire to experiment with innovative formats and support the French comedy scene.
