Series producer Dominique Besnehard was for 20 years one of the biggest talent agents in France, managing the careers of some of the top actors, actresses and directors in the country, including most, if not all, of the celebrities appearing as themselves in the show.
With the series being set around talent agents, with each episode centered on one or two notable thespians starring as themselves, around thirty French stars declined to appear in the first season, notably Sophie Marceau, Gérard Jugnot and Laetitia Casta.
The French original title "Dix pour cent" translates to 10%, which is the commission the agent receives from the actor's fee
When Monica Bellucci, playing herself in series 3Ep2, goes to a party undercover to find a regular guy, she uses the pseudonym "Chantal", which was her character's name in Suspicion (2000).
Is being adapted in a UK version for 2022.
