‘Call My Agent! The Movie’ Review: A Chaotic, Cameo-Filled Return to the ASK Agency

Nearly six years after the beloved French television series “Call My Agent!” ended, the franchise is back with a feature-length movie. Directed by Émilie Noblet, “Call My Agent! The Movie” (original title: Dix pour cent, le film) reunites the main cast to explore the hectic universe of filmmaking through the perspective of a former talent agent.

“Call My Agent! The film is a French comedy directed by Émilie Noblet and released on Netflix on September 10, 2026. The feature-length spinoff reunites the acclaimed 2015-2020 series cast as they follow former talent agent Andréa (Camille Cottin) as she navigates the tumultuous production of her directorial debut, with notable celebrity cameos from George Clooney and Eva Longoria.

The story starts about five or six years after the fourth and last season of the television series, which concluded with the bankruptcy and closure of the Paris-based talent agency, Agence Samuel Kerry (ASK).

The film follows Andréa Martel (Camille Cottin), who has left talent representation to become a writer and director. Her directorial debut, a gritty female survivalist drama, is the subject of the turbulent pre-production and filming that the plot follows. To deal with the escalating crises, Andréa has her former ASK colleague Noémie (Laure Calamy)—who has since gone big as a television producer—take over as the film’s producer.

The production immediately hits industry hurdles. Andréa’s would-be leading man backs out for a competing project, leaving her to cast a psychologically fragile actor represented by Gabriel (Grégory Montel), who now works for ASK’s rival agency, Starmédia.

The film relies on meta-humor, with several French actors, including Laurent Lafitte, Vincent Macaigne, and Laetitia Casta, playing elevated fictional versions of themselves. High-profile English-speaking cameos also feature, notably Eva Longoria and George Clooney.

Critical reception for Call My Agent! Reviews of “The Movie” have been largely positive, with critics praising the chemistry of the returning cast while providing mixed opinions of the film’s third act.

Variety’s Guy Lodge said the film was “fleet and fast-talking and stuffed, as ever, with Gallic industry in-jokes and celebrity cameos.” Lodge noted the “passive-aggressive exchanges [are] the stuff of sitcom perfection, and plenty pleasurable in movie form too,” when talking about Calamy and Cottin’s dynamic.

Robert Lloyd, television critic for the Los Angeles Times, concurred, calling it a “satisfying” return that “doesn’t betray its legacy.” While the action is outlandish, Lloyd said, “the emotions are real,” and it successfully captures the difficulty of making art in an unsavory business environment.

But not all the reviews were uniformly enthusiastic. The TimeUK(UK) gave the film two out of five stars, criticizing the film’s climax for abandoning the show’s trademark nuanced industry satire. The review said the finale introduces a “madcap natural disaster plotline” which leaves the characters in “feeble slapstick,” but singled out George Clooney’s self-effacing cameo as a highlight.

“Call My Agent! The Movie” shows the international and timeless appeal of French-language television and film. The original series helped popularize the French dramedy on the world’s streaming services and led to later international versions, including the UK version “Ten Percent.”

So Netflix is reviving the original cast and leveraging their brand loyalty to attract subscribers in the competitive streaming space. The film is also a case study in how successful television properties can translate into feature films without losing the character dynamics that made the original a success.

As of late September 2026, Netflix and the production companies (Mon Voisin Prods. and Mother Production) have not announced any plans for a sequel or to return to the episodic television format. The film is now presented as a definitive, feature-length epilogue to the ASK agency storyline.
