Ten Percent - Season 1

The team at Nightingale Hart is still reeling from the loss of its leader and owner, Richard. But in the cutthroat world of talent agents, a power struggle is not far off. Jonathan and Rebecca are forced into damage control when two of their clients (Helena Bonham Carter and Olivia Williams) are offered the same role. Misha gets involved with a handsome writer, only to discover he has an awkward family connection to the agency. Meanwhile, Dan is coping with an undeniable attraction to his talented assistant, Zoë.

Stella visits the West End rehearsals of one of her biggest movie-star clients (Dominic West), surprised to find him suffering from a bad case of stage fright. Meanwhile, Rebecca is courting an author for movie rights, and the business deal soon gets very personal. And Jonathan discovers the financial mess that his father left behind. The only option may be to sell the firm to an American super-agency. Finally, Misha awkwardly rebuffs Luke's advances, unable to tell him the real reason she's turning him down.

Jonathan stuns the agency with the news that he has accepted a takeover offer from United World Talent. Soon the new parent company is flexing its authority, and Jonathan must face that in saving the company, he has lost his leadership position. Rebecca and Dan are called to a movie set to help their clients (Emma Corrin and Himesh Patel) who are struggling to make it through a love scene together, while Zoë and Dan are inspired to take their relationship a step further. After a long day, a distraught Stella makes a shocking discovery.

Jonathan arrives at work only to find the new American boss has taken his office. The team is commanded to sign a specific young talent...or else. But the starlet (Phoebe Dynevor) lets Jonathan know that she bears a grudge against him. Drunk on her birthday, Misha makes a blunder involving a client. Jonathan sticks up for her and invites her out for a belated birthday drink. When Luke and Charlotte find them alone together, Jonathan is forced to admit the true nature of their relationship.

Two of Jonathan's clients, a well-known married couple (David and Jessica Oyelowo) working on a film together, are at odds due to inequality in pay. To make matters worse, Charlotte discovers that Jonathan was having an affair while she was pregnant with Luke, causing her to kick Jonathan out of the house. Elsewhere, jealousy comes in between Dan and Zoë, and, at the same time, Rebecca is jealous of Margaux.

Rebecca gets a call that one of her biggest clients is being considered for a dream role. However, the client (Clémence Poésy) just recently had a baby, and the role calls for a massive time commitment. At the audition, Rebecca pretends the baby is hers. And Rebecca and Margaux's relationship is at a turning point. After Jonathan is kicked out of the house by his wife, he finds himself in a compromising position with his assistant.

With the United World Talent boss in the office monitoring him, Dan is focused on one of his clients (David Harewood) who is up to play James Bond. Dan struggles to get the actor into the right headspace, but later, he decides to commit to Zoë. Stella reveals that her medical results came back, and thankfully, she'll be all right. Rebecca says goodbye to Margaux and promises to wait for her. Jonathan is confronted by Charlotte, but he is not truthful.
