Netflix taps Oscar-winner Damien Chazelle for musical series

Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle is to bring an eight-episode musical drama set in Paris to Netflix, the internet streaming service announced on Friday. The "La La Land" director will helm two episodes of "The Eddy" and executive produce the entire series, which focuses on a club, its owner, the house band and the "chaotic city that surrounds them," Neflix said.
Written by five-time BAFTA and Olivier-winning writer Jack Thorne ("National Treasure," "This is England"), the series will be co-produced by Emmy-winner Alan Poul ("Six Feet Under," "The Newsroom").
