Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle will soon be teaming up with Netflix for a musical drama series called The Eddy. The series will be set in Paris and will have eight episodes, with Chazelle directing two, reports Variety.
Speaking to Variety, Erik Barmack, Netflix’s VP of international originals, said that the show will explore the relationship between the American and French-Arab co-owners of a jazz club and it will be something along the lines of Chazelle’s two films Whiplash and La La Land.
