Is Étoile season 2 happening? Everything we know so far

Étoile , the captivating ballet drama on Prime Video, has twirled its way into fans' hearts with its blend of elegance, humor, and high-stakes drama. Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, known for Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel , the show premiered on April 24, 2025, dropping all eight episodes of its first season. With its fresh take on the ballet world, fans are already buzzing with questions: Is Étoile Season 2 happening? When might it release? Who's returning, and what's next for the plot? Here's everything we know so far about Étoile Season 2, packed with the latest updates and speculation. Is Étoile Season 2 Confirmed?
Yes, Étoile Season 2 is officially happening! Unlike many streaming series that await viewership data to secure renewals, Étoile was greenlit for two seasons back in 2023, before its debut. Étoile Season 2 Release Date Speculation
Most streaming series take 12–18 months from filming to release, factoring in post-production for visually intensive shows like Étoile , which features intricate dance sequences. If filming began in early 2025, a release in late 2026 or early 2027 seems plausible, Étoile Season 2 Potentail Cast
The Étoile Season 1 cast brought the ballet world to life, and most key players are expected to return for Season 2, though official confirmations are pending. Based on Season 1's ending and actor statements, here's who we anticipate seeing: Luke Kirby as Jack, the head of the New York ballet company, whose leadership and unresolved tension with Cheyenne set up juicy Season 2 arcs.
Charlotte Gainsbourg as Geneviève Lavigne, the Paris company leader. Gainsbourg expressed enthusiasm for returning, telling Le Parisien , 'I'd love to go back,' signaling her commitment.
Lou de Laâge as Cheyenne, the superstar ballerina whose breakdown in Season 1 leaves her story ripe for exploration.
Gideon Glick as Tobias, the bold choreographer whose risky triumph in Season 1 positions him for a bigger role.
David Alvarez as a key dancer, likely continuing the cross-cultural exchange storyline.
Simon Callow as the cunning billionaire, whose influence may deepen.
Yanic Truesdale as Raphael, Geneviève's assistant, a Gilmore Girls alum who could have a larger role.
Kelly Bishop as Jack's mother, another Gilmore Girls veteran, expected to bring more wit. Étoile Season 2 Potential Plot
Étoile Season 1 followed two struggling ballet companies—one in New York, one in Paris—swapping their star dancers to save their institutions. The season ended with pivotal moments: Cheyenne's emotional breakdown, Tobias' bold choreography paying off, and a charged kiss between Cheyenne and Jack hinting at unresolved tension. Mishi's rise as a dancer also set the stage for new dynamics. Season 2 is expected to pick up these threads, diving deeper into the personal and professional fallout of the dancer swap.

YouTube overtakes streaming rivals as the go-to for TV and movies
Gone are the days when YouTube was just for catching up on vlogs or diving into late-night rabbit holes. Today, the platform is staking its claim in TV and film. Why you're catching the 'ick' so easily, according to science Why AI Is Making 1:1 Meetings Irrelevant Where are the wildfires in Canada? Maps pinpoint the location of fires and air-quality threats from smoke According to a new survey conducted by Looper Insights between April 16 and 25, 66% of consumers discover TV or film content via YouTube. For 61%, it's already part of their regular streaming habits, and for 34%, it's a main source for TV and film content, as reported by Media Play News. This shift isn't surprising. In April, the Google-owned platform captured a record 12.4% share of all TV viewing. And it's not just rival streamers who should be concerned. For three consecutive months, YouTube has ranked as the No. 1 distributor of television content, according to Nielsen. Media executives are taking notice. Among the 65 surveyed, 84% view YouTube as a viable platform for launching long-form content, and 30% are actively considering it for upcoming releases. In Q1 2025, more Americans watched YouTube on TV screens than on mobile devices—a first. Meeting audiences in the living room, media companies have begun uploading premium content directly to the platform. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. quietly released more than 30 full-length films on YouTube, free to watch. Yet as YouTube continues its rise, creators face critical decisions. Some, like Ms Rachel, have signed licensing deals with Netflix. MrBeast (aka Jimmy Donaldson), YouTube's most-subscribed creator, brought Beast Games to the small screen via Prime Video. Still, many fans would rather their favorite YouTubers stay where they started. More than half (54%) of respondents said YouTubers feel more authentic and better suited to the platform that launched their careers. Meanwhile, nearly three-quarters (74%) of executives noted that creator-led shows often underperform on platforms like Netflix and Prime, citing poor audience migration and an overreliance on follower counts. The good news: The YouTube takeover is already in full swing—so creators may not need to go anywhere at all. This post originally appeared at to get the Fast Company newsletter:
