Overview

• Prime Video opted not to proceed with a second season of Étoile despite commissioning two seasons in 2023.
• The cancellation was driven by a cost-versus-performance assessment after Étoile failed to enter Nielsen’s Top 10 and dropped off Prime Video’s own streaming rankings.
• The series’ shoot across New York and Paris, elaborate ballet choreography and star-studded cast contributed to its high production budget.
• The departure of Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke in March removed one of the original champions who greenlit the show.
• Prime Video said it will continue to support Étoile’s comedy Emmy campaign even though no further episodes will be produced.
