Netflix is joining forces with Damien Chazelle, the Oscar-winning director of La La Land, for The Eddy, a Paris-set musical drama series which will mark Chazelle’s first venture into TV.
Chazelle will direct two episodes of the series, on top of exec-producing. The eight-episode show comes from IMG and will premiere exclusively on Netflix for subscribers around the world.
Jack Thorne, the five-time BAFTA Award-winning of National Treasure and This is England, is writing The Eddy. Glen Ballard, the six-time Grammy Award-winning music composer and producer of Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill and Michael Jackson’s Bad, is writing the original score for the series. Emmy-winning producer Alan Poul (Six Feet Under, The Newsroom) is executive producing.
