‘Call My Agent!’ U.K. Remake for Amazon’s Prime Video Sets Release Date
Titled “Ten Percent,” the show hails from BAFTA-winning “W1A” and “Twenty Twelve” writer John Morton and, much like its French counterpart, follows a ragtag group of talent agents at a fictional British agency. And as evidenced in a new trailer for the show , creators have made good on early promises to depict the U.K. industry’s fierce competition with the American agencies.
All eight episodes will launch on the service on April 28 in the U.K., Ireland and select countries around the world, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand and Sweden. In the U.S., the show will premiere on April 29 on streaming service Sundance Now. Produced by Headline Pictures and Bron Studios, the series is inspired by the original French comedy drama “Dix Pour Cent,” which is known globally via Netflix as “Call My Agent!”
A sprawling cast includes Jack Davenport, Lydia Leonard, Maggie Steed, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Hiftu Quasem, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Rebecca Humphries, Harry Trevaldwyn, Tim McInnerny, Natasha Little, Edward Bluemel, Eleonore Arnaud and Jim Broadbent. Meanwhile, A-list cameo appearances are in store from Helena Bonham Carter, Olivia Williams, David Oyelowo, Jessica Oyelowo, Dominic West, Emma Corrin, Kelly Macdonald, Himesh Patel, David Harewood and Clemence Poesy.
