Netflix has ordered an eight-part musical drama series called The Eddy, executive

produced by La La Land director Damien Chazelle, Variety reports. Chazelle will also direct two of the episodes.

He’s also part of the writing team for Colin Trevorrow’s Star Wars: Episode IX. The series’s score will be written by Glen Ballard, a six-time Grammy winner known for co-producing Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill, contributing to the production of Michael Jackson’s Bad and Thriller, and co-writing the book and music for 2011’s Ghost the Musical.
