Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino continue their creative journey with their upcoming Prime Video series, Étoile, which explores the cultural clash between French and American ballet leaders. This new project showcases their familiar humor and charming dialogue found in their earlier works like Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel through recurring motifs, such as lines and waiting for things. Additionally, several actors from their previous shows reprise roles, creating a rich tapestry connecting their cinematic universe with nostalgic references.
"I like how you call them 'motifs,' and it's just us repeating ourselves," Palladino tells Bustle. "I kind of connected the line thing to the Gilmore thing, too."
"What's going to happen in Trader Joe's all of a sudden that you're not going to get that 99-cent quiche, frozen pop-up thing that you're dying to [have]? I don't know. It's very weird."
Across the husband-and-wife team's TV universe, some quips recur from one show to another, reflecting their signature charm and humor.
The team's latest project is Étoile, a Prime Video series about French and American ballet bosses who decide to swap their talent pools.
