What Is Call My Agent! The Movie About?
The feature-length spinoff of the hit French comedy series tracks the tortured production of the first film directed by Andréa Martel, played by Camille Cottin. Her debut, titled The Fugitive, is not a remake of the Harrison Ford thriller—it is a gritty female survivalist revenge drama that keeps pulling her back into agent-style firefighting.
Nearly six years have passed since season four ended with the Paris-based Agence Samuel Kerry folding in near-bankruptcy. The movie reunites scattered ASK employees with new career paths, from Mathias running his own agency to Noémie thriving as a TV producer.

Call My Agent! The Movie arrives on Netflix on Sept. 10, 2026. The two-hour feature was reviewed online on Aug. 29 and runs 117 minutes. Its original French title is Dix Pour Cent, Le Film.

Does the Movie Work for New Viewers?
Variety says the film plays amusingly enough for non-acolytes but assumes knowledge of the show's tangled dynamics. Industry outsiders may not keep up with every Gallic in-joke, though barbs aimed at Gérard Depardieu are hard to miss.
The script by Fanny Herrero and Lison Daniel packs throwaway jabs at a breathless pace. Former assistant Hervé delivers a catch-up intro directly to camera, while Gabriel draws a shorter straw as an unhappy rival-agency employee.
Who Steals the Show in the Cameo-Filled Cast?
George Clooney appears in a standout cringe-comedy scene that goes south when Noémie inadvertently insults his direction of The Monuments Men. Eva Longoria smilingly bows out as producer, suggesting the script might work better as a Parisian romance. Laurent Lafitte plays himself as Andréa's intended leading man, represented by a grudge-holding Mathias.
Camille Cottin remains a drily smart lead, perfectly countering Laure Calamy's spiraling scattiness. Their passive-aggressive exchanges are sitcom perfection, according to Variety's review. A calamitous turn on Andréa's shoot ultimately unites nearly everyone toward a common cause.
