Whit Stillman Talks The Cosmopolitans, Amazon, Casting, His Jane Austen Film, and More — collider.com

Last week, Amazon started streaming their new pilots and the highlight of this year’s crop is writer-director Whit Stillman’s The Cosmopolitans.  The show (which you can watch here) follows a group of young American expatriates in Paris searching for love and friendship in the city of lights.  If you’ve seen Stillman’s movies (Damsels in Distress, Metropolitan, The Last Days of Disco) you know the type of characters and situations he likes to write about, and I’m happy to say his trademark humor and wit is on full display in The Cosmopolitans.  It’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you want Amazon to pick up the show.  The dramedy stars Adam Brody,  Chloë Sevigny, Carrie MacLemore, Dree Hemingway, Freddy Åsblom, Jordan Rountree, and Adriano Giannini.
