Netflix released the first trailer for the upcoming Call My Agent: The Movie, a new nightmare from the team behind the beloved French series.

Call My Agent: The Movie trailer was forged in fires of development hell

After a six-year hiatus, the French comedy series Call My Agent returned with a movie trailer, which is finally set to hit Netflix on September 10. The film, directed by Emilie Noblet and written by Lison Daniel, follows the story of former agency owner Andréa (played by Camille Cottin) five years after the agency closed its doors.

In the trailer, Andréa is seen directing her first movie, embracing the joys of the industry from a new perspective. As she struggles with a lead actor dropping out due to a "shit role with Wes Anderson," she reteams with Noémie (Laure Calamy), who's become a successful reality TV producer. Amidst production turmoil and a custody battle over her daughter, Andréa finds herself questioning her decision to take on the project without a better agent backing her.

Many familiar faces from the series, including Camille Cottin, Laure Calamy, and Thibault de Montalembert, reprise their roles in the movie.
