George Clooney has joined the cast of Netflix’s upcoming Call My Agent The Movie which began shooting in Paris at the beginning of October.
Clooney revealed his involvement in the show in an interview with French newspaper Le Parisien while doing press in L.A. for the upcoming release of Jay Kelly.
“Since your French, I going to tell you that I’m leaving for Paris where I will be participating in the shoot of Call My Agent next week… I didn’t hesitate for a second,” Clooney was quoted as telling the Le Parisien over the weekend.
Since then Variety has reported that Eva Longoria is also in talks for a guest spot, although Netflix have not confirmed the rumor. Longoria’s UnbeliEVAble Entertainment is already involved in a Spanish-speaking Americas version of the hit series.
Deadline broke the news in early September that the long-mooted movie was finally on the cards with the original cast – led by Camille Cottin, Thibault de Montalembert, Grégory Montel, Liliane Rovère, Fanny Sidney, Laure Calamy, and Nicolas Maury – reuniting for the feature-length reboot.
We also later revealed that Cottin’s character Andréa Martel had given up the agent lifestyle to become a budding auteur in the movie version.
Just days before cameras are set to roll on her directorial debut, her lead actors drops out, leading her to get her old team back together, rekindling all of the old friendships and rivalries.
Series creator-writer-showrunner Fanny Herrero – who wrote Seasons 1 through 3 before leaving ahead of the fourth and final run on France Televisions – has penned the screenplay.
The original show, following the daily adventures of agents at fictional Parisian talent agency ASK, featured a starry roster of guest stars in fictionalized versions of themselves including Juliette Binoche, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Isabelle Huppert, Béatrice Dalle, and Jean Reno, with U.S. star Sigourney Weaver appearing in the show’s final season.
Longtime producers of the show, Dominique Besnehard, Harold Valentin, and Michel Feller are producing through Mon Voisin Productions and Mother Productions, with the show due to debut on Netflix in 2026.
