W1A creator John Morton will write, direct and executive produce the new show.

Call My Agent!, which airs in its native France under the title Dix pour cent, follows four Parisian talent agents as they work to keep their business afloat and their clients happy following the sudden death of the agency's founder.

The remake will transfer the story to London, with production set to begin in June 2020.
