‘Mrs. Maisel’ Bosses on Not Wanting the Show to End, Their Risky New Amazon Ballet Drama ‘Étoile’ and the ‘Delightful’ Possibility of More ‘Gilmore Girls’


Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palla­dino talk about the ending of "Mrs. Maisel," the potential for more "Gilmore Girls" and their new show "Étoile."

News of Salke’s departure — which sent shockwaves through Hollywood — comes as the real-life couple is pirouetting toward the April 24 launch on Amazon Prime Video of “ Étoile,” the sumptuous, transcontinental ballet series that follows up their Emmy darling, “Mrs. Maisel.” The eight-episode dramedy stars Luke Kirby and French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg as the directors of ballet companies in New York and Paris, respectively, who agree to swap their main attractions in a bid to save their storied institutions. “Étoile” — which is French for “star” — finds the Palladinos dipping their toe shoes back into the dance world for the first time since the 2012 cancellation of their beloved, woefully one-and-done ABC Family series “Bunheads,” only now with an Amazon-friendly budget.
