Amazon’s Prime Video has canceled Étoile after a single season — even though the streamer had initially asked for two.
The news comes about six weeks after the series, from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, premiered its full eight-episode season. Étoile is set in the world of ballet and centers on the heads of historic but struggling companies in New York and Paris (played by Maisel alum Luke Kirby and Charlotte Gainsbourg) decide to swap their principal dancers.
Prime Video gave the show a two-season, straight-to-series order in 2023 as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was in its final season. Despite the splashy announcement, such deals often have contingencies by which a streamer or network can opt out after part of a multi-season order. That was the case with Étoile.
More to come.
