Joanna Kulig to Lead Damien Chazelle's THE EDDY

Deadline reports Joanna Kulig will lead opposite Andre Holland in Oscar winner Damien Chazelle's Netflix series The Eddy.

The Eddy is a musical drama set in contemporary multicultural Paris revolving around a club, its owner (Holland), the house band, and the chaotic city that surrounds them. The eight-episode series will be shot in France and feature dialogue in French, English and Arabic for premiere exclusively to Netflix members worldwide.

Kulig (Cold War) plays Maja who sings like a bird but has a drinking problem. When she sings she's the absolute center of attention, but otherwise, she's adrift, at a crossroads where every direction looks like a dead end. She has an on-again-off-again relationship with Elliot (Holland) and his band, but her other options don't look so great, either.

Holland's Elliot Udo, was a celebrated jazz pianist in New York, but now is in Paris, part-owner of a failing jazz club, hiding from everyone. He has an on-again-off-again relationship with his lead singer (Maja), but is emotionally stunted. When his fifteen-year-old daughter shows up suddenly, he has to face his weakness and learn to grow up.
