Damien Chazelle
Netflix has joined forces with Lagardere Studios’ Atlantique Productions on The Eddy, the upcoming Paris-set musical drama series which will be directed by Oscar-winning helmer Damien Chazelle (“La La Land”).
Atlantique Productions has been tapped to executive produce the series, which will start shooting during the first half of next year on location in Paris.
Chazelle will direct two episodes of the series, on top of exec-producing. Glen Ballard, the composer and producer of Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill and Michael Jackson’s Bad, is composing the original score for the series and will also exec produce it, along with Alan Poul (“Six Feet Under,” “The Newsroom”).
Written by Jack Thorne (“National Treasure”), “The Eddy” will revolve around a club, its owner, the house band, and the chaotic city that surrounds them. The show will feature dialogue in French, English and Arabic. Casting is underway. Thorne is also an executive producer on “The Eddy.” Endeavor Content is producing “The Eddy” with Netflix, which will premiere the series exclusively for subscribers worldwide.
