Charlotte Gainsbourg is joining Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino’s Prime Video series étoile to replace Camille Cottin, who has dropped out over scheduling conflicts.

Actress, singer and songwriter Gainbourg (The Pale Blue Eye, Antichrist, Nymphomaniac) will join the likes of Luke Kirby (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Gideon Glick (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Call My Agent!), Simon Callow (Outlander), Lou de Laage (The Innocents), and David Alvarez (West Side Story) in the drama series.

Set in New York City and Paris, the eight-episode étoile follows the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies, as they embark on an ambitious gambit to save their storied institutions by swapping their most talented stars.

In April, the show was given a two-season order, at which point Call My Agent!, Golda and House of Gucci star Cottin was named among its leads.

Gainsbourg recently led Prime Video’s Alphonse opposite Jean Dujardin and acted in Scott Cooper-directed Netflix feature The Pale Blue Eye opposite Christian Bale. She’s known as a muse to director Lars von Trier, with lead roles in Nymphomaniac Volumes I and II, Antichrist — for which she received the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival — and Melancholia.

It’s from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, the married pair behind Prime Video hit The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, which has racked up Emmy nominations over five seasons before ending earlier this year. They will write, direct and executive produce. Sherman-Palladino struck an overall deal with Amazon Studios in 2019.

Gainsbourg is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.
