Play It By Ear

Lukas, originally from the Netherlands, and Mila, born and raised in California, are college sweethearts planning on moving in together after graduation. But when their careers and families force them to stay apart, they rise to the challenge of a long-distance relationship. Mila is accepted into a yearlong screenwriting program in Los Angeles, and Lukas moves across the world to work for a magazine in Amsterdam. For one year, they’ll try to make things work, but cracks in their bond appear sooner than expected.

Directed by Simon Kienitz Kincade, Dillon Bentlage, Emily Ann Zisko, Brian Reilly, Play It By Ear leans on a strong ensemble — Emily Ann Zisko, Dillon Bentlage, Elise Rose Martin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2023.
