Andre Holland Will Lead Damien Chazelle's Netflix Series THE EDDY

Deadline reports Andre Holland, known for his work in 'High Flying Bird' and 'Moonlight', will lead Oscar winner Damien Chazelle (Whiplash, La La Land)'s Netflix series 'The Eddy.'

The Eddy is a musical drama set in contemporary multicultural Paris revolving around a club, its owner, the house band, and the chaotic city that surrounds them.

The eight-episode series will be shot in France and feature dialogue in French, English and Arabic.

Holland will play Elliot Udo, who was a celebrated jazz pianist in New York, but now is in Paris, part-owner of a failing jazz club, hiding from everyone. He has an on-again off-again relationship with his lead singer, but is emotionally stunted.

When his fifteen-year-old daughter shows up suddenly, he has to face his weakness and learn to grow up.
