‘Call My Agent!’ is everyone’s favourite cameo-heavy French Netflix smash about the coming and goings of a bickering, dysfunctional Parisian talent agency. The French equivalent of ‘The Office’ (sort of), it wound up its run last year, but will soon be back with us in a new, English-language remake called ‘Ten Percent’ that’s due to hit Amazon Prime later this year.
In fact, the French name for the show is also ‘Ten Percent’ (or ‘Dix Pour Cent’), meaning that ‘Call My Agent!’ feels increasingly less like its actual name. But that hasn’t deterred the producers of a brand new musical that’s due to hit the West End up in… 2024!! It’s quite the lead time for a show that doesn’t even have a creative team announced yet, but after the show’s formative existence was revealed by the Daily Mail it has been officially confirmed that it’s happening.
Further details are pretty scant – for instance, it’s not clear whether it will be set in Paris or in London – but we are promised that ‘Call My Agent! The Musical’ will mirror the TV show in terms of having a special guest star in it each week to keep things fresh. Further information is due to arrive later this year.
