Netflix is bringing back the beloved French comedy series “Call My Agent!” with a feature-length film that reunites viewers with the characters six years after the original show concluded. The movie follows Andréa, a former talent agent played by Camille Cottin, as she transitions into her new role as a writer and director while navigating the production of her debut film.
The film cleverly plays on its straightforward title by operating on two levels: it serves as a continuation of the satirical comedy that critiqued France’s entertainment industry, while simultaneously following the behind-the-scenes chaos of Andréa’s movie production. The cast members have scattered since the Paris-based ASK talent agency closed its doors, but they reconnect throughout the story with varying degrees of success in their new endeavors.
The screenplay maintains the series’ signature style with rapid-fire industry humor, celebrity cameos, and insider jokes that will particularly resonate with longtime fans. Viewers will encounter numerous well-known personalities poking fun at themselves, and the film captures the complex dynamics between characters that made the original series a popular workplace comedy. While the movie delivers fast-paced entertainment and witty dialogue, it benefits from familiarity with the show’s character relationships for maximum enjoyment.
“Call My Agent! The Movie” arrives on Netflix on September 10, offering fans a chance to revisit this acclaimed French comedy franchise.
