The first trailer has been revealed for the series Prime Video series is about dancers at two world-renowned ballet companies who switch places in an attempt to save them. The series features Charlotte Gainsbourg, Luke Kirby, John Lam, Yanic Truesdale, Unity Phelan, Omar Maskati, and LaMay Zhang. The series was co-created by Daniel Palladino and Amy Sherman-Palladino, who both also executive produce the series.
Now, Prime Video has released the first trailer for Étoile. The trailer begins by establishing two failed ballet companies, one in Paris and the other in the United States. After struggling with reviews, unions, and more, the Parisian company owner makes a bold suggestion to fix their situation by trading their top talent to get audiences interested again. While there is some pushback from the dancers, the switch is made, and it seems that ticket sales are beginning to increase.
What This Trailer Means For Étoile
The Show Comes From Impressive Creators
The Étoile trailer emphasizes the creators' previous credits. Both Palladino and Sherman-Palladino previously served as producers for the series Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The latter title is also a Prime Video series, showing that the streamer has an ongoing relationship with the producer couple. Gilmore Girls has also had a lasting impact, as it is still popular on streaming today. This justifies why Amazon is pushing these titles when marketing the new dancing show, as these credits could help pull audiences.
Gilmore Girls' 12 Best Emily & Lorelai Moments
Although the mother and daughter have a contentious relationship, Emily and Lorelai Gilmore have some fantastic moments of bonding in Gilmore Girls.
Elements of the trailer highlight why Étoile might appeal to Gilmore Girls viewers. While there are male dancers in the Parisian and American companies, the story primarily focuses on women in the ballet world. As such, the show will likely be attracting a majority female audience, which overlaps with the target demographic for Gilmore Girls. Appealing to this crowd, the Étoile trailer features drama and comedy while exploring complex female characters and relationship dynamics in the series.
Our Take On The Étoile Trailer
The Trailer Has Strong Hit Potential
I think Étoile has the potential to become a big hit when it arrives on Prime Video on April 24. The ballet world is such an intense and specific environment, which could lead to interesting themes. Additionally, reality shows like Dance Moms and Dancing with the Stars have helped popularize dance in the media in recent years, expanding the series' potential audience base. Between these story, theme elements, and the creators' impressive backgrounds, Étoile has strong potential to become a new hit series.
