The highly anticipated comedy series ‘Étoile’ by Amy Sherman-Palladino, known for her work on ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,’ premieres on Prime Video April 24, bringing a fresh, quirky take on the competitive ballet world.
Fans of Amy Sherman-Palladino can rejoice as the creator of the acclaimed The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is set to debut her new series, Étoile, on Prime Video on April 24. This fresh comedy centers around the competitive ballet scene and reunites audiences with familiar faces while also introducing new talent. Co-created with her husband Daniel Palladino, ‘Étoile’ promises both humor and drama as it dives into the professional world of ballet.
Meet the Characters and the Concept
At the heart of Étoile are two rival dance company heads played by:
- Luke Kirby as Jack
- Charlotte Gainsbourg as Genevieve
When Genevieve faces mounting stress at her prestigious ballet company, she presents a bold idea to her American counterpart, Jack: “Let’s trade our top talent.”
Introducing the Next Generation of Talent
The series also features rising stars:
- Cheyenne, played by Lou de Laâge, the chic and rebellious dancer from Paris.
- New York’s top performer, portrayed by Gideon Glick.
In the trailer, Cheyenne comically critiques motherhood, exemplifying Palladino’s unique writing style: “They are a drain on the world and boring to talk to, but that doesn’t mean I did not give them up!”
High Stakes and Quirky Humor
The trailer for Étoile showcases vibrant wit and high stakes. Jack’s words highlight the passion for dance: “I know you are the great Cheyenne, queen of the dance, but this swap is vital for the future of this magnificent art form!”
A Star-Studded Cast
Joining the lead duo are notable actors:
- David Alvarez from West Side Story
- Simon Callow from Outlander
- David Haig from Two Weeks Notice
- Professional dancer LaMay Zhang in her screen debut
- Yanic Truesdale from Gilmore Girls as Genevieve’s assistant, Raphael
Anticipation Builds Ahead of the Premiere
Truesdale expressed his excitement upon his casting, stating, “I’m very excited to share that I’ll be reuniting with my artistic mother who gave birth to my career in the US on her new series Étoile. The icing on this already delicious cake is that I’ll be filming in Paris for 4 months.”
Having become a beloved member of the Palladino repertory company from his role in Gilmore Girls, fans are eager to see Truesdale back on screen. Notably, this marks the Palladinos’ first new series since Mrs. Maisel concluded in 2023.
Get ready for the enchanting world of ballet as Étoile premieres on Prime Video on April 24, promising laughter, intrigue, and a fresh perspective on dance.
