*** French International hit "CALL MY AGENT!" is back in 2026 for a finale part, not a season but.. a feature film, thanks to Netflix: "CALL MY AGENT! THE MOVIE" *** The film will brings the beloved French hit to the big screen for a final reunion event. Set five years after the series finale, the film follows Andréa Martel (Camille Cottin), who has left the ruthless world of talent agencies behind to pursue her long-held dream of becoming a film director. Just days before shooting begins on her directorial debut, disaster strikes when her lead actor abruptly drops out. With her film on the brink of collapse, Andréa has no choice but to return to her past and reunite the former team of the ASK talent agency. What follows is a chaotic and heartfelt reunion filled with old rivalries, rekindled friendships, and the professional crises that once defined them. Staying true to the spirit of the series, the film also features major international celebrities playing exaggerated versions of themselves including George Clooney. In the tradition of "CALL MY AGENT!", "CALL MY AGENT! THE MOVIE" is envisioned as a feature-length farewell.
