The drama, which viewers have hailed as a “masterpiece,” became a global success on Netflix during lockdown and was praised by TV critics for its sharp writing and excellent performances.

Camille Cottin was a stand-out as the ruthless, seriously chic talent agent Andréa Martel in the series, which followed the lives of the talent agents working at a top Parisian film agency.

What to expect from the new Call My Agent! Film

The upcoming film, which is penned by show creator Fanny Herrero alongside Lison Daniel, picks up five years after the agency closed its doors and finds Andréa directing her first feature film.

The synopsis continues: “When her lead actor quits and she falls out with her producer, she joins forces with Noémie—now a successful reality TV producer—believing she can easily manipulate her. But as she faces a complete recasting, on-set disasters, and a legal battle threatening the custody of her daughter, everything begins to unravel.

The film arrives on Netflix this autumn

“One by one, the former ASK colleagues converge on this high-tension film set. Each arrives with their own role, their ego, and a fair share of old grudges—little do they know what this reunion truly has in store for them.”

Sharing her excitement about the project, creator and writer Fanny told Deadline last year: “I’m so happy to write for them again.

“They are so inspiring, I love them all,” she said of the characters. “And the fact that I left and it’s been almost five years now since the last season was released, [makes] it so good to be back again together.”

Who stars in the new film?

Camille Cottin will return as Andréa, alongside Laure Calamy as Noémie Leclerc, Thibault de Montalembert as Mathias Barneville, Grégory Montel as Gabriel Sarda, Nicolas Maury as Hervé André-Jezak, Fanny Sidney as Camille Valentini and Liliane Rovère as Arlette Azémar.
