During this rather dull and lifeless lockdown, we could all use a little more music in our lives.
Enter Oscar-winning La La Land director Damien Chazelle (Whiplash, First Man), who has returned with an eight-episode musical series, entitled The Eddy.
BAFTA Award winner Jack Thorne (National Treasure) and six-time Grammy Award winner Glen Ballard collaborated with Chazelle on this massive new project which is set in the vibrant multicultural neighbourhoods of modern-day Paris.
The Eddy focuses mostly on a jazz club of the same name and details the dramas and intrigues that take place there.
