After years of on-and-off development and slow progress, Netflix confirmed a September 10th release for the Call My Agent! movie is officially, with most of the original cast for the French series returning. New details were revealed in a new magazine interview with the cast and writer/showrunner Fanny Herrero. Here is everything we know, and a recap of how we got here.Ahead of the official premiere later this week in Angoulême, for the Festival du Film Francophone (co-founded by longtime agent and Call My Agent! executive producer Dominique Besnehard), a new trailer has been released for the Call My Agent! movie. 

Last May, the Call My Agent! cast was in Cannes for a red carpet photocall, and did a talk show appearance on France Télévisions’ C A Vous. Alongside the promotion of the event movie, most of the cast played along for the – real – photographers, up to guest stars Vincent Macaigne and Laetitia Casta ; through an interview in Variety, cowriter Fanny Herrero confirmed that the footage would be for additional scenes for the movie. At that point, new footage was released (below).

New Call My Agent! cast and crew interview : what did we learn?
In an exclusive preview for leading movie magazine Première, the cast and writer/showrunner Fanny Herrero gave a few more details about what we can expect from the movie, which seems devised to close the series and character arcs once and for all. So, what did we learn?

The years of development for a fifth season that will never be saw an idea involving American actor Kevin Kline, “who was one of our best ambassadors in Hollywood”, according to Dominique Besnehard, who adds that Kline facilitated the appearance of Sigourney Weaver in the final season, as he made her discover Call My Agent!
The fifth season was abandoned once the producers realized the main cast would never be reunited long enough for a 6-episode season, as their respective schedules became too hectic, “even to get them together over Zoom”.
Nicolas Maury lets slip that the cast’s appearance on the red carpet is meant for the end credits of the movie, as he is chastised then by Fanny Sidney and Grégory Montel that he is not supposed to reveal it.
Fanny Sidney claims that the worlds of movies and TV shows intersecting is at the heart of the project : “two worlds that think each other is a stranger, while they constantly conversate and feed off each other”.
The cast says that Fanny Herrero being brought back was “a relief”, as other drafts were attempted with writers “that did not work”, while praising cowriter Lison Daniel for the singularity she brought to the screenplay.
According to Herrero, producers invited her in New York to receive the International Emmy Award on behalf of the show in late 2021. “I think they understood it was important to have an author who has control over everything from A to Z” – she was not involved in the final season after leaving the show, due to a mix of “burnout” syndroms and creative differences. Conversations to hire her back started then. She accepted to do the movie “as, over time, I learned to accept a lot of things and writing on the show remains my biggest professional pleasure. I wanted to write for these characters again.”
She explains that “we are getting back to the DNA of the show : the movie industry. We made Andrea a director because out of all the characters, she was the one who had the most charisma and artistic inclinations to do it”. She teases the movie will have contemporary themes, resonating beyond the film industry.
Herrero declined to say whether the movie would be the final appearance for these characters. “In this movie, every character is pushed in a direction we haven’t seen him (or her) before. So, if we were to start again, what could they learn about themselves? I wanted to get light back where season 4 had been a darker place. So, if it was the end, I would rather have it be this one.”

A production over the fall of 2025
On December 4th, 2025, the official social media pages for Netflix France announced that the movie had officially wrapped. The movie shot mainly in Paris and the Île-de-France area. Both George Clooney and Eva Longoria are set for cameos in the movie, according to several reports (and statements by Clooney himself). In a new interview with Variety, Fanny Herrero finally confirmed and expanded on these cameos : “Lison [Daniel, cowriter] and I always fantasized about actually having an A-List actor. At one point, we thought We’re making the Call My Agent! movie, so let’s go all out!”, but emphasized that they had been given a little leeway to land George Clooney, who insisted the shoot be done in a single day in one location only. In Longoria’s case, the inclusion came from conversations about adapting Call My Agent! for Latin American audiences, since Longoria is an active executive producer in film and television : “People are less aware that she is a producer, And we like to show that actresses can also eventually become producers, become powerful women — which is really the case with her. She’s truly an accomplished businesswoman.” Longoria is also often in France lately, since she shot a CNN docuseries about French culture, Searching For France.

Confirmed in early September by original creator Fanny Herrero, who was accepting an award in Le Havre, the Call My Agent! (original title : Dix Pour Cent) movie has been confirmed to be in production for global release on Netflix, while original broadcaster France 2 and France Télévisions are confirmed to co-finance the project (and a second-run broadcast on France 2 or on streaming platform france.tv later on). Meanwhile, after having been removed last July, all four seasons of the original show are back on Netflix globally as of November 23rd. 
The updated movie logline is below:
“Five years after the agency closed its doors, Andréa is finally ready to direct her first feature film. When her lead actor quits and she falls out with her producer, she joins forces with Noémie—now a successful reality TV producer—believing she can easily manipulate her. But as she faces a complete recasting, on-set disasters, and a legal battle threatening the custody of her daughter, everything begins to unravel. One by one, the former ASK colleagues converge on this high-tension film set. Each arrives with their own role, their ego, and a fair share of old grudges—little do they know what this reunion truly has in store for them.”
The series itself is an ambitious one for French television: a dramedy set in the French film industry, focusing on talent agents who are not used to the limelight, it was long considered by Canal+ until public broadcaster France 2 ordered development in 2011. After an arduous process and questioning around the idea of bringing in A-list French actors, which would be easier through the producer of the series, legendary agent Dominique Besnehard, the first season was broadcast in 2015 under the guidance of Fanny Herrero. She brought in a team of writers in order to develop snappy, quick dialogue and interweave the personal and professional lives of the characters with harmony. 
Netflix, which had barely begun producing its own French originals, bought second-run rights for France but, most crucially, global broadcast rights to the show, and so all four seasons had been available under the name Call My Agent! The series is credited with launching the international career of Camille Cottin (Andrea) and also starting the relationship between creator Fanny Herrero and Netflix. The latter left Call My Agent! ahead of its final season to sign an exclusive deal with the platform, which led to the 6-episode dramedy Drôle/Standing Up in 2022. The show was cancelled after a single season, while Call My Agent was remade multiple times. Netflix aired the Indian remake, while competing platforms, including Prime Video for the British version and SKY for the Italian version, also produced their own adaptations. 
Netflix has broadcast many versions of Call My Agent! including in South Korea.
Ever since the final episode of Call My Agent! was broadcast in November 2020, producer Dominique Besnehard has been on the record several times to confirm a movie was in active development. But he has always insisted that the problem lay with the busy schedules of the entire cast, and the need to find a workable script; Herrero had left the show due to creative differences, but was finally confirmed to write the sequel last year, alongside Lison Daniel. 
All of these issues seem to be bygones, as the entire cast is confirmed to return alongside veteran director Émilie Noblet at the helm (Parlement, Zorro): Laure Calamy, Thibault de Montalembert, Grégory Montel, Nicolas Maury, Fanny Sidney, and Liliane Rovère. Planned guest stars include Laetitia Casta, Vincent Macaigne, Ophélia Kolb, and Anne Marivin. Longtime producers of the show, Besnehard, Harold Valentin, and Michel Feller are producing through Mon Voisin Productions and Mother Productions.
Speaking to Deadline, Herrero said of the characters: “They are so inspiring, I love them all. And the fact that I left and it’s been almost five years now since the last season was released, [makes] it so good to be back again together.” She added in Variety that the movie may not mean the end of the road for Call My Agent! : “No one’s in prison, they haven’t stopped at all. Anything is possible.”
