Taking its title from the Parisian jazz bar the series focuses on, The Eddy follows former New York jazz star Elliott Udo (André Holland) as he navigates life in the city, and is constantly working to keep his small slice of peace and quiet afloat.

Chazelle produces the series and directs two of its episodes, with scripts by Jack Thorne. Joanna Kulig, Amandla Stenberg, Leila Bekhti and Tahar Rahim co-star.
The Eddy hits Netflix on May 8th.
