Étoile: Renewal confirmed ahead of debut

While most streaming shows impatiently wait for post-release figures to finalize their destiny, Étoile is one of those few shows that have been in line to break this long-standing tradition.

Amazon’s sureness in the series was apparent long before its initial release, as it secured a two-season commitment in 2023 itself.

The show, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino — best known for Gilmore Girls — delivered on a mix of wit, emotion, and originality.

Set sandwiched between New York and Paris, Étoile trails two ballet firms caught under pressure, wanting to survive.

In a despairing move, their directors — portrayed by Luke Kirby and Charlotte Gainsbourg — swap over their topmost dancers, producing both cultural conflicts and wholehearted journeys.

The show’s 85% Rotten Tomatoes score is evidence of the heartfelt response given to Prime by the fans. Still, the guarantee of a second season didn’t hinge on ratings alone.

Given Sherman-Palladino’s track record with exploring the small-town life in Stars Hollow and the series’ moderately humble production costs, Prime Video considered it a clever long-term success way before it could release out into the world.

In an interview with Le Parisien, Charlotte Gainsbourg spoke about her eagerness to return:

"Yes, but I'd love to go back. We don't know where, even anywhere else. The climate in the world is difficult, it's complicated to find a country where you can feel like you're living and working."

Gainsbourg also admired the creative team as being “brilliant,” which leaves no hesitation about her readiness to return to her role as Geneviève Lavigne.

What do we know about Étoile Season 2?

While the sanction for Season 2 is concrete, actual facts about the imminent season remain under wraps.

Since Season 1 has only just been released, storylines, casting revelations, and more for the next season have yet to surface online.

Nevertheless, based on the structure and flow of Season 1, fans can foresee and guess at least a little bit. Like, a similar layout: around eight to ten episodes? Perhaps each one runs close to an hour.

Given the series’ story setup, it’s possible that Season 2 will continue to explore the professional and personal tangles born from the determined ballet dancer exchange.

Familiar faces like Kirby’s Jack and Gainsbourg’s Geneviève are most likely set to return, gathering the threads left by the end of the first season.

Taking into consideration Sherman-Palladino’s narrative style, viewers can expect more Lorelai Gilmore-style dialogues, intricate character arcs, and emotional nuances intertwined with laughs and heartbreak.

Furthermore, the setting of the story, based in New York and Paris, is sure to stay central to the show’s already established charm.

Real-life ballet dancers, ornate outfits, and a combination of English and French cultural nuances add authenticity that critics and fans have already approved of.

Although Prime Video and other streaming services closely supervise and monitor numbers and trends, Étoile, with its pre-existing two-season contract, means that filming and production arrangements are likely already happening behind the scenes.
