Netflix Unveils Trailer for Long-Awaited 'Call My Agent' Film
Netflix has released the first trailer for Call My Agent: The Movie, a continuation of the French comedy series set five years after the agency closed. The film follows Andréa as she directs her first movie while juggling production chaos and a custody battle. It will stream on September 10.
The film picks up half a decade after the agency’s shutdown, with Andréa pivoting from agent to director. Her first feature is thrown into chaos when a lead actor bolts for a Wes Anderson project, forcing her to recruit former colleague Noémie, now a reality-TV producer. A custody dispute over Andréa’s daughter adds personal stakes to the professional mess. The project reunites the original cast, including Cottin, Calamy, and de Montalembert, with series creator Fanny Herrero co-writing. Netflix confirmed a September 10 streaming release, ending years of speculation about a fifth season or TV movie that never materialized.
This release could rekindle global interest in French-language comedy on streaming platforms, especially among subscribers who discovered the series during lockdown. The film’s focus on industry satire and personal turmoil may resonate with creative professionals facing similar pressures, while its delayed production mirrors the very behind-the-scenes chaos it depicts. For Netflix, it represents a low-risk nostalgia play that could boost engagement ahead of fall programming, though its impact likely remains limited to existing fans rather than attracting new audiences.
