The 'Julia' Season 2 Trailer Explores France, Food, and Fame
The second season of Max drama Julia is set to premiere in November, and will take viewers on a journey that encompasses everything from the decadent French Riveria to the White House Kitchen itself as the popularity of the famous chef --- and her groundbreaking public television series --- keeps rising.
The series stars Sarah Lancashire (Last Tango in Halifax) as the titular Julia and is inspired by the creation of her long-running cooking show The French Chef. Set immediately following the publication of her bestselling cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia sees Child working to launch her first series with the help of public television station WGBH.
The second season will pick up almost immediately after the events of the first, which ended with Julia declaring that she was willing to continue making The French Chef, but needed some time to decompress and clear her head before diving back into a second season. That rest period appears to be what drives the plot of Season 2's initial episodes, as Julia heads to Paris to reunite with fellow French cookbook writer Simca Beck (Isabella Rossellini) and, naturally, to eat what appears to be a truly ridiculous amount of decadent cuisine.
