Whit Stillman himself has tweeted out some news about the focus and geography of The Cosmopolitans if it goes to series.

You may be asking, “Is it going to series, where is the pilot, when are more episodes coming out?” You are in luck, because Amazon has ordered more scripts, but you’ll probably have to wait a bit because Whit Stillman has new a film in post, called Love & Friendship. Stillman’s Love & Friendship is based on a Jane Austen Novella and stars Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny.
In short, Amazon has ordered more scripts, the pilot is still available to view on amazon and when more episodes are coming out is anyone’s guess (IMDB has L&F slated for a 2016 release). Stay tuned…
Someone asked for the soundtrack listings in the pilot. I found them on imdb and here they are with youtube links. I have not yet had time to double check them with the credits, so if you find errors, please email or comment:

Jordan Rountree was born in Paris, France. After high school in the US and in Japan, he was accepted into the prestigious Classe Libre at the Cours Florent acting school in Paris, studying with the Promotion 32 under Jean-Pierre Garnier.

We hope the show gets picked up and that we will be seeing more of Rountree, as Whit Stillman is always great at picking fresh new talent.
