Call My Agent! () is a French comedy-drama television series that premiered on France 2 on 14 October 2015. The series depicts talent agents at the fictional agency ASK (Agence Samuel Kerr) and their relationships with their actor clients, who are real, mainly French, celebrities playing themselves. It won Best Comedy Series at the 49th International Emmy Awards.
It was initially planned that the show would end after its fourth season in 2020, but in April 2021 it was announced that the show would return with a 90-minute TV film followed by a fifth season. Call My Agent! has been broadcast by ICI ARTV in Canada, RTS Un in Switzerland and is available worldwide on Netflix, except in Austria, Spain, Germany and Portugal.
Overview
The series follows four agents who jointly take control of a fictional talent agency (ASK, ) after the death of its founder and head. The agents attempt to manage film production crises arising from their stars' egos, financial and legal difficulties, and other complications, while also maintaining rivalries with one another for power and prestige. Most episodes focus on a single actor, their agent, and the production of a film in which they are starring. The series also depicts the agents' private lives, and how they are affected and often harmed by their busy and stressful professional lives.
