Production
In October 2022, Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino held an open casting call for an untitled ballet show as the follow up to their comedy The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.[2] The duo previously explored the subject of ballet with their series Bunheads, and their series Gilmore Girls included a ballet teacher among its supporting characters.[2]
On April 26, 2023, it was reported that the new series, Étoile, had been given a two-season order from Amazon Prime Video, and that it would star Luke Kirby and Gideon Glick (who both worked with Sherman-Palladino and Palladino on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), as well as Camille Cottin, Simon Callow, Lou de Laâge, and David Alvarez.[3] Charlotte Gainsbourg later replaced Cottin, who dropped out over scheduling conflicts.[4]
On November 26, 2024, it was reported that David Haig had been added to the cast as a regular.[5] On December 5, 2024, it was reported that Ivan du Pontavice and Taïs Vinolo had been added to the cast.[6] Yanic Truesdale and Kelly Bishop, who both worked with Sherman-Palladino on Gilmore Girls, will have recurring roles.[7]
Étoile is executive produced by Amy Sherman-Palladino, Daniel Palladino, and Dhana Rivera Gilbert, with Scott Ellis serving as co-executive producer.[3] The series is partially inspired by Frederick Wiseman ballet-themed documentaries such as La Danse.[8] It was filmed in New York and Paris.[9]

The official trailer was released on March 26, 2025.
