Netflix released some first look images from its forthcoming series The Eddy, a music based drama whose first two episodes are directed by its creator Damien Chazelle.
The show stars André Holland (Moonlight), Joanna Kulig (Hanna), Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give),Tahar Rahim (Mary Magdalene), Leïla Bekhti (A Prophet), and Liah O’Prey (Mary Queen of Scots). Melissa George (The Good Wife) will recur on the series.
The Eddy is a eight-part musical drama set in contemporary multicultural Paris revolving around a club, its owner, the house band, and the city that surrounds them.
Holland will play Elliot Udo, a celebrated jazz pianist from New York. Now in Paris and the part-owner of a failing jazz club, Elliot is hiding from everyone. The character has an on-again-off-again romance with his lead singer. When his 15-year-old daughter Julie (Stenberg) suddenly shows up, Elliot has to face his weakness and learn to grow up. George will play Alison Jenkins, a sophisticated New Yorker, comes to visit her ex-husband (Holland) and daughter (Stenberg) in Paris, with complicated results.
Joanna Kulig, star of the Oscar-nominated historical drama Cold War, will star opposite Holland as Maja, a beautiful songbird with a drinking problem who feels adrift and at the center of crossroads with no clear direction on where to go and has an on-again-off-again relationship with Udo.
Executive produced by Chazelle, who will direct two of the episodes, and written by five-time BAFTA Award-winning and Olivier-winning writer Jack Thorne, The Eddy will feature dialogue in French, English and Arabic. Emmy-winning producer Alan Poul (Six Feet Under, The Newsroom), will also executive produce the Endeavour Content series, and original music will be written by six-time Grammy Award winner Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill, Michael Jackson’s Bad).
