Prime Video has released a trailer for its forthcoming series Étoile, set in the world of ballet. It showcases both top-flight dancing and a possibly harebrained scheme that will fuel the series.
In the show, which comes from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, the heads of two ballet companies — one in New York, one in Paris — strike a deal to swap their top dancers for a year in the hopes of reviving the fortunes of both. Maisel alum Luke Kirby and Charlotte Gainsbourg play the heads of the two companies.
The trailer features some of the fast-paced dialogue that’s a hallmark of series from the Palladinos, along with sumptuous visuals and a lot of dance. Watch it below.
Prime Video picked up Étoile with a two-season order in 2023. The series, filmed in New York and Paris, is the second ballet-centric show for the Palladinos after Freeform’s (then called ABC Family) cult favorite Bunheads in 2012.
Along with Kirby and Gainsbourg, Étoile stars Lou de Laâge, Gideon Glick, David Alvarez, Ivan du Pontavice, Taïs Vinolo, David Haig, LaMay Zhang and Simon Callow. Gilmore Girls alums Yanic Truesdale has a recurring role.
Amazon MGM Studios, where the Palladinos have an overall deal, is producing Étoile. Amy Sherman-Palladino, Daniel Palladino and Dhana Rivera Gilbert executive produce, and Scott Ellis is co-exec producer.
