Get ready for “Étoile”, a new Prime Video series from “Gilmore Girls” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” creators Amy and Daniel Palladino, offering a fresh spin on the competitive world of ballet. Set in New York and Paris, the show follows a bold plan to swap star dancers for a year, leading to drama, rivalry, and plenty of surprises.
“Étoile” Trailer and Premise
The trailer, released Wednesday, gives fans their first look at the series, starring Luke Kirby and Charlotte Gainsbourg. They play Jack and Geneviève, directors of struggling ballet companies losing audiences. In a desperate attempt to turn things around, they come up with the idea of swapping their top dancers—sending Kirby’s troupe to Paris and Gainsbourg’s to New York.
The trailer also gives a taste of the Palladinos’ signature fast-paced dialogue, reminiscent of their previous hits like “Gilmore Girls” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”. Along with sharp, witty conversations, viewers can expect stunning visuals and a heavy dose of ballet, capturing the beauty and athleticism of the art form.
“Étoile” Cast and Production
The series delves into the rivalry between the two directors, their personal histories, and the emotional stakes of their risky plan. With standout performances from Kirby and Gainsbourg, plus a talented cast including Lou de Laâge, Gideon Glick, and Yanic Truesdale, Étoile promises a mix of drama, comedy, and compelling character arcs.
With the Palladinos’ trademark humor and depth, the series brings the world of ballet to life with breathtaking choreography and visuals filmed in both New York and Paris. “Étoile” premieres April 24 on Prime Video, offering an exciting, new take on dance, rivalry, and the passion behind it all.
