Find Me in Paris

Helena "Lena" Grisky is a young Russian ballerina training at the Paris Opera Ballet School who suddenly finds herself ripped out of her own time and dropped into the present. She has to learn modern customs, hide her true identity, and keep her disappearance from altering the people she cares about, all while avoiding mysterious Time Collectors who want to correct the timeline. The show mixes rehearsal rooms and rooftop chases, teenage friendships and family secrets, as Lena tries to keep up with classes, romance, and a ticking clock that could send her back or erase her future.

Created by Jill Girling and Lori Mather-Welch, Find Me in Paris premiered in 2018. The series combines dance-driven storytelling with science fiction elements, showcasing choreography and period-versus-modern production design.

The show hasn’t secured major industry awards, but it earned steady praise for its cast, especially Jessica Lord as Lena, and for its dance sequences. Reviewers and viewers often highlight the performers’ athleticism and the series’ consistency across seasons, which helped it build a loyal audience even without high-profile trophies.

On social media and streaming platforms the series developed a visible fanbase, with clips of routines, costume threads, and fan art spreading internationally. Its mix of classical ballet and time-travel antics made it a frequent subject for dance teachers and young performers who recreate scenes, and it helped raise interest in ballet among a younger, global audience.

Critics and audiences generally responded positively, reflected in an average vote of 8.1/10 from viewers. The show leans into themes of identity, belonging, and the tension between tradition and change, while keeping a light, often humorous tone. It balances teen drama with speculative stakes, making it appealing to family viewers who like dance, romance, and a touch of supernatural mystery.
