The U.K. Remake of 'Call My Agent,' 'Ten Percent,' Is Coming To The U.S.

The French comedy Call My Agent! debuted in October 2015 and became a bigger hit than initially anticipated. The series stars Camille Cottin, Thibault de Montalembert, Grégory Montel, and Liliane Rovère as four talent agents, Andréa, Mathias, Gabriel, and Arlette. The team runs the company ASK (Agence Samuel Kerr), juggling celebrity egos, hectic projects, insane production schedules, and their own messy lives after the owner passes away. France 2 originally planned the show to end with Season 4, but its popularity is such that it's now ending with a 90-minute TV film followed by the fifth and final season.

Something that popular, especially with U.K. and U.S. audiences on Netflix, but in French, was a natural choice for a remake by an English counterpart across the channel. Renamed Ten Percent, the new series from Bron Studios and Headline Pictures comes from BAFTA-winning writer John Morton (W1A). The series plans to follow the French model, though changing out a Parisian talent agency to a U.K. talent agency, with employees scrambling to keep their star clients happy and their business afloat after the sudden death of their founder.

The series is planned to stream in the U.K. on Amazon Prime, but for the U.S. market, AMC Networks is the one who nabbed the rights for linear broadcast and streaming. Currently, the show is technically under the Sundance umbrella, and that's the channel it will probably air on linear cable, which has a chance of moving to AMC's flagship channel if it hits big. For streaming, the series will be available on both Sundance Now and AMC+, coming in the spring of 2022, though there's no concrete release date for either.
