Watch Sarah Lancashire and David Hyde Pierce in the trailer for the new Julia Child TV show

JULIA is inspired by Julia Child’s extraordinary life and her long-running television series, “The French Chef,” which pioneered the modern cooking show. Through Julia’s life and her joie de vivre, the series explores a pivotal time in American history – the emergence of public television as a new social institution, feminism, and the women’s movement, the nature of celebrity, and America’s cultural evolution. At its heart, the series is a portrait of a loving marriage with a shifting power dynamic.

The first episode is directed by Charles McDougall. It stars Sarah Lancashire, David Hyde Pierce, Brittany Bradford, Bebe Neuwirth, Isabella Rossellini, Robert Joy, Erin Neufer, James Cromwell, Adriane Lenox, Fran Kranz, Fiona Glascott, Jefferson Mays, Judith Light and Christian Clemenson.

Julia hits HBO Max on 31st March 2022.
