Étoile is a comedy-drama from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, the married creative team behind Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Set in the rarefied world of professional ballet, the series follows two storied but struggling dance companies — one in New York, one in Paris — that hatch an audacious plan to survive: they will swap some of their most gifted stars for a season, hoping the exchange generates the publicity and artistic spark each institution desperately needs.
Luke Kirby and Charlotte Gainsbourg lead as the harried directors on either side of the Atlantic, with Gideon Glick, Lou de Laâge, Simon Callow, and newcomer Taïs Vinolo among the dancers and staff swept up in the scheme. True to the Palladinos' signature style, the show pairs rapid-fire, literate dialogue with a genuine reverence for its milieu, casting real professional dancers and staging extended performance sequences alongside its backstage comedy.
Released on Prime Video in the spring of 2025, Étoile was mounted as an ambitious, bilingual production shot across two countries. Despite an initial two-season order, Prime Video ultimately declined to continue the series beyond its first season, leaving its single run as a distinctive, globe-spanning ode to the art form. It streams on Prime Video.
Before "Twilight" beguiled a billion teen-age hearts and "True Blood" took over Louisiana and Sunday night ratings, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" rescued seriously besieged Sunnydale, California, from werewolves, vampires, zombies, and random undead. Created by uber-vamp writer-producer Joss Whedon, who felt profoundly disappointed with the film version of his original premise, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" helped the fledgling WB network hold its own against "the big 4," and it made Sarah Michlelle Gellar a tween and teen icon. In each episode, Buffy and her posse of slayers known as "the Scooby gang," follow sage advice from The Watcher as they banish fearful creatures from their otherwise peaceful and perfect suburb. Whedon insisted, "The supernatural elements in the series stood as metaphors personal anxieties associated with adolescence and young adulthood." Whedon's allegories may have been lost under cute teen fashions, but the dramas' substance attracted critics' attention, earning the show 3 Emmy Awards and a tribute show from the Television Academy when it left the air in 2003.
