HBO Developing U.S. ‘Call My Agent’ Reboot Set in Sports Representation

The adaptation is in development without a series order or casting details.

Overview

  • The new take shifts the premise from film and TV talent reps to four sports agents juggling clients’ demands and their own lives.
  • Sarah Schneider, co-creator of The Other Two and a former SNL writer, is set to write and executive produce.
  • Brad Pitt’s Plan B and SpringHill Studios, led by LeBron James and Maverick Carter, are attached as executive producers, with Mediawan linked through its ownership stake in Plan B.
  • Reporting indicates the show may mirror the original’s cameo device with real athletes playing themselves.
  • The French series debuted in 2015, ran four seasons, won a 2021 International Emmy, expanded globally, and gained U.S. traction on Netflix, which has a follow-up movie reported.
