Ten Percent will definitely appeal if you loved the French Netflix series Call My Agent! (and quite frankly who didn’t?). Ten Percent is the English language remake that is on its way to Prime Video this spring. Renamed Ten Percent, which is the usual cut taken by an agent on any acting job, the new title is also in line with the French version’s original title Dix Pour Cent.
The comedy is written by BAFTA-award winner John Morton (Twenty Twelve, W1A) and the series has lined up a whole host of stars, including Jack Davenport, Lydia Leonard, Maggie Steed and Jim Broadbent. But, as with its Parisian forerunner, it’s the cameos we’re all waiting for, with big names such as Emma Corrin (The Crown), Helena Bonham Carter, David Harewood, Olivia Williams and David Oyelowo set to rock up. There are even former EastEnders actors lined up to appear.

Ten Percent plot

Outside the office they must also navigate their own chaotic personal lives. The British remake promises to incorporate a sense of ‘British sensibility’ as well as looking at ‘transatlantic industry relationships’ and the British class system.

Jack Davenport on playing Jonathan Nightingale in Ten Percent
Jack Davenport told us: "I took my own agent out for a long lunch, and took copious notes! He said one thing which really stayed with me: the hardest thing is that you’re either Father Christmas or the Grim Reaper, and there’s nothing in between. All day long, you’re possibly changing somebody’s life forever, or breaking their heart. That’s quite complex emotional territory."
