Max has released the trailer for Season 2 of “Julia,” the streamer’s series about the life of Julia Child, which will have a three-episode premiere on Thursday, Nov. 16. One episode will release weekly following the premiere, through Dec.
21. Returning series regulars include Sarah Lancashire, David Hyde Pierce, Bebe Neuwirth, Brittany Bradford, Fran Kranz, Fiona Glascott, and Robert Joy. The second season continues to follow Julia (Lancashire) and her husband Paul after the launch of her famous cooking show.
The logline reads, “With her trailblazing cooking show up and running on the air, Julia grapples with her rising celebrity and what that means for her, her colleagues and her show. In Season 2, Julia and her devoted husband Paul return from Simca’s home in France to find that her success has changed everything.” The summary continues, “Through her singular joie de vivre, she and her team must navigate WGBH, the White House and a threat from their past, while continuing to spearhead female-driven public television and confront social issues still prevalent today.” “Julia” is produced by Lionsgate and 3 Arts Entertainment. Chris Keyser — who was also the co-chair of the negotiating committee of the Writers Guild of America — is the showrunner and executive producer, with creator Daniel Goldfarb.
Erwin Stoff of 3 Arts Entertainment also executive produces in addition to Kimberly Carver, Charles McDougall, Donna Bloom and Erica Lipez. Todd Schulkin serves as a consulting producer on behalf of The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts. Watch the trailer below.
