La La Land's Damien Chazelle Is Making a Netflix Musical Show
Call it La La Land, Parisian Style.
La La Land director Damien Chazelle's follow-up to his Oscar-winning (and losing) musical will be The Eddy, a musical drama series on Netflix, the streaming service announced Friday.
The eight-episode series, which will be shot on-location in Paris, will revolve around a nightclub, its owner, the house band, and the chaotic, multicultural city they're in. The musical series will reflect the multiculturalism of Paris with dialogue in French, English and Arabic. It sounds conceptually similar to La La Land, but with more nonwhite characters.
Chazelle will executive-produce and direct two episodes. The series will be written by National Treasure's Jack Thorne.
