Back in February, we saw the first teaser for The Eddy, the new, jazz-filled drama that boasts La La Land's Damien Chazelle amongst its producers. Now here comes the full trailer.
The Eddy sees Chazelle teaming up with fellow directors Alan Poul, Houda Benyamina and Laïla Marrakchi to craft the show alongside writer Jack Thorne and composer Glen Ballard. It's an eight-episode drama that takes place in the vibrant multicultural neighborhoods of modern-day Paris. Once a celebrated jazz pianist in New York, Elliot Udo (André Holland) is now the co-owner of struggling club The Eddy, where he manages the house band fronted by lead singer and on-again-off-again girlfriend Maja (Joanna Kulig).
As Elliot learns that his business partner Farid (Tahar Rahim) may be involved in some questionable practices at the club, secrets begin to come to light that have also been concealed from Farid's wife Amira (Leïla Bekhti), and when Elliot’s troubled teenage daughter Julie (Amandla Stenberg) suddenly arrives in Paris to live with him, his personal and professional worlds quickly start to unravel as he confronts his past, fighting to save the club and protect those closest to him...
Netflix will premiere all the initial episodes of the show on 8 May.
