Damien Chazelle, who won a 2017 Oscar for directing the musical La La Land, is teaming up with Netflix for another foray into song-and-dance. The Eddy, an eight-episode original series, will be a musical drama series set in modern-day Paris centred around a club owner and house band. The success of La La Land has brought musical films back into vogue, however Netflix's previous venture into the genre yielded disappointing results. In addition to the Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling-led La La Land, Chazelle was also behind the well-received 2014 film Whiplash. Simmons took home an Oscar for best supporting actor and the film won best film editing and best sound mixing.
