Directed by Émilie Noblet, the feature-length spinoff of the French comedy series "Call My Agent!" is set to premiere on Netflix on September 10. The film follows the former employees of the now-defunct Agence Samuel Kerry (ASK) as they pursue new career paths. The story centers on Andréa Martel, who has transitioned from a talent agent to a writer-director, as she faces the challenges of producing her debut film, "The Fugitive."
New Career Paths for ASK Alumni
Nearly six years after the series finale, which saw the collapse of the Paris-based agency ASK, the characters have moved on to different roles. Mathias, formerly an ASK hotshot, now runs a new agency with his daughter, Camille, while his wife, Noémie, has become a television producer. Andréa Martel, meanwhile, has left agenting behind to focus on her creative career, though she finds that the production of her film involves many of the same professional fires she dealt with in her previous job.
Celebrity Cameos and Industry Satire
The film features several celebrity cameos, including Laurent Lafitte, Eva Longoria, and George Clooney. The plot involves various professional conflicts, such as Mathias attempting to sabotage Andréa’s project and Noémie accidentally insulting Clooney during a meeting. The script, written by Fanny Herrero and Lison Daniel, maintains the series' focus on French industry satire and fast-paced dialogue, with additional references to figures like Wes Anderson and Gérard Depardieu.
Production and Character Dynamics
While the characters are now working in different environments—such as Gabriel, who is employed at the rival agency Starmédia—the film continues to explore the complex, love-hate relationships established in the original series. The production is shot in widescreen by cinematographer Aurélien Marra. Despite the film's length, the narrative relies on the audience's familiarity with the show's established character dynamics to navigate the various subplots.
