The agency has folded, the agent has quit, and the first film she ever directs is already coming apart. That is where Call My Agent! The Movie picks up, nearly six years after the fourth season of the French series ended with the Paris talent agency Agence Samuel Kerry (ASK) folding in near-bankruptcy and its staff drifting off in different directions.
The film arrived on Netflix on Thursday, 10 September 2026. Directed by Émilie Noblet, it runs 117 minutes. Variety called it “fleet and fast-talking”, and its reviewer predicted it could hardly fail to please longtime fans. The Guardian, quoted by AFP, went further: “At last: a beloved-TV-show-to-film-spinoff that doesn’t suck!”
Andréa behind the camera
Camille Cottin returns as Andréa, who has left agenting for a career as a writer-director. Her debut feature, titled “The Fugitive”, is entering pre-production, and she soon finds herself putting out the same kind of fires she thought she had escaped. Her leading man, Laurent Lafitte, who appears as himself, is represented by her old office rival Mathias (Thibault de Montalembert). Mathias now runs a new agency with his daughter Camille (Fanny Sidney) and still nurses professional grudges. He is willing to sabotage the project.
His wife, Noémie (Laure Calamy), once his assistant, has found surprising success as a TV producer and comes aboard as producer on Andréa’s film. Andréa’s first choice for that job, Eva Longoria, took herself out of the running with a smile, suggesting that the script, a gritty female survivalist revenge drama led by Laetitia Casta, might work better as a Parisian wish-fulfilment romance.
Hollywood drops in
The Americans do not help. Wes Anderson never appears on screen, but his latest shoot wrecks plans from a distance. George Clooney turns up in a good-humored cameo, and Variety singled out a scene as a standout cringe-comedy moment: a promising meeting goes sour when Noémie inadvertently disses his direction of “The Monuments Men.”
Clooney, AFP noted, became French last year and lives with his family in southern France. Longoria, who is also in the film, plans to direct a Spanish-language adaptation of the series. “It’s my favourite show,” she told French television in 2024, adding that she and her husband had acquired the rights for Mexico and Latin America.
A franchise that travelled
The original ran for four seasons from 2015. Its French title, Dix pour cent, nods to the cut agents take from their clients, and it won an Emmy. Adaptations followed around the world, among them Call My Agent: Bollywood, which looks at India’s entertainment industry, and a new series from Brad Pitt’s production house Plan B that follows sports agents.
The film brings the same characters back together years after the agency went under, this time to help Andréa get her picture made. AFP reported that critics were saying that for once, a movie made from a series had hit the mark.
