‘Étoile’ Cast Unpack Feelings About Prime Video Cancellation: “I Thought About Starting A GoFundMe!”
DeadlineSunday, June 29, 2025 at 3:50:07 PM
The cast of Étoile—Prime Video’s short-lived ballet dramedy from Gilmore Girls creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino—opened up about their disappointment after the show’s abrupt cancellation. At the SCAD Lacoste Film Festival, actors like Yanic Truesdale joked about desperate measures ("I thought about starting a GoFundMe!") while masking deeper frustration. The axing shocked fans and industry insiders, especially given the show’s pedigree and niche appeal.
Editor’s Note: Cancellations always sting, but this one hits harder because Étoile had a passionate fanbase and creative heavyweights behind it. It’s another example of streamers pulling the plug too soon—leaving actors, fans, and even the creators scrambling to process the loss. For viewers invested in niche storytelling, it’s a frustrating reminder of how precarious TV production has become.
