Amazon Cancels Étoile After One Season

Amazon Prime Video has canceled the ballet dramedy Étoile after one season, despite initially ordering two, citing the show's high production costs and modest viewership. The series, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, starred Luke Kirby and Charlotte Gainsbourg and did not chart on Nielsen's streaming rankings. The plot centered on ballet companies in New York and Paris exchanging top performers to revitalize their institutions. The cancellation is unrelated to recent management changes at Amazon MGM Studios and reflects a broader industry trend of reassessing multi-season commitments based on performance. Fans have expressed disappointment, particularly as the series had a dedicated following and unresolved storylines. Amazon will continue to support Étoile's Emmy campaign in comedy categories.
