From the Oscar-winning director behind La La Land and Whiplash, Damien Chazelle, the eight-part musical series focuses on the show’s eponymous jazz club in Paris, and the drama that befalls the owner.

With Bafta-winning writer Jack Thorne (National Treasure) and Grammy winner Glen Ballard collaborating alongside Chazelle, The Eddy looks set to be a surefire success.
