Directed by Academy Award winner Damien Chazelle (La La Land) and Alan Poul (Tales of the City), the Netflix original series 'The Eddy' is an eight-episode drama that takes place in the vibrant multicultural neighbourhoods of modern-day Paris.
The story revolves around a once celebrated jazz pianist in New York who is the owner of a struggling club - The Eddy.
Interspersed with dynamic and uplifting performances, the series conveys the power of music to heal, unite and turn chaos into beauty.
The series was brought to the screen through a collaboration between Alan Poul, Damien Chazelle, BAFTA Award winner Jack Thorne (National Treasure) and six-time Grammy Award winner Glen Ballard, who wrote the songs and established The Eddy’s band which is composed of real-life musicians Randy Kerber, Ludovic Louis, Lada Obradovic, Jowee Omicil and Damian Nueva Cortes.
'The Eddy' will premiere in the UK on May 8th at 8am.
