Amazon's 'Étoile' Series Trailer Highlights Ballet Rivalry

Amazon Prime Video has released the trailer for 'Étoile,' a new comedy series from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, creators of 'Gilmore Girls' and 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.' The show centers on two ballet directors, Jack (Luke Kirby) from New York and Geneviève (Charlotte Gainsbourg) from Paris, who attempt to revive their struggling companies by swapping their top dancers. The series features a cast that includes Lou de Laâge and Gideon Glick, and it aims to blend comedic elements with the competitive ballet world. 'Étoile' showcases the signature fast-paced dialogue of the Palladinos while exploring the cultural challenges faced by the dancers in their new environments. The series has been greenlit for two seasons and is set to premiere on April 24, 2024. This marks the duo's return to the ballet genre after their previous series 'Bunheads.'
