[NEWS] "Etoile" canceled after one season (despite originally given two)

    'Etoile' Canceled After One Season at Amazon Prime Video,
    Despite Two-Season Order
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    The first bow of "Etoile" is also its last. Prime Video has
    canceled the ballet series from "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"
    creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, despite
    the streamer initially greenlighting the production with a
    two-season commitment.
    The final pirouette comes roughly six weeks after the series
    first debuted in late April and earned generally positive
    notices from critics. All eight episodes were dropped
    simultaneously on Prime Video. That binge-release model of
    premiering all episodes at once has become a bit of a rarity
    for Amazon's original programming.
    "Etoile," which starred Luke Kirby and Charlotte Gainsbourg
    as ballet company directors teaming to save each other's
    storied institutions, was ordered to series in 2023, about
    one month before the series finale of Sherman-Palladino and
    Palladino's "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" premiered on Amazon's
    streamer. "Maisel" was also initially picked up for two
    seasons back in 2017, though that commitment came after a
    pilot was produced.
    The ballet series was greenlit by the prior administration at
    Amazon MGM Studios, headed by Jennifer Salke. Salke stepped
    down from her role after seven years back in March, one month
    before "Etoile" premiered.
    In an April interview with Variety previewing the series,
    Sherman-Palladino and Palladino were tentative about the
    prospect of Season 2, despite the streamer's initial commitment,
    saying that more episodes were "pending."
    Sherman-Palladino and Palladino served as writers, directors and
    executive producers on "Etoile," with Dhana Rivera Gilbert also
    executive producing and Scott Ellis co-executive producing. It
    was a product of Sherman-Palladino and Palladino's overall deal
    at Amazon Studios, which the pair signed in 2019.
