The streaming platform Apple TV+ will release ‘Careme’, a French drama series about the world’s first celebrity chef Antonin Careme, who rose from humble beginnings in Paris to the pinnacle of culinary stardom in Napoleon’s Europe.
The eight-episode series stars Cesar Award winner Benjamin Voisin — known for ‘Lost Illusions’ and ‘Summer of 85’— as the chef in the title role.
“While he only dreams of becoming the most famous chef in the world, his talent and ambitions attract the attention of renowned and powerful politicians, who use him as a spy for France,” the streamer said about ‘Careme’, according to a PTI report from Los Angeles.
The upcoming show is inspired by the book ‘Cooking for Kings: The Life of Antonin Careme – The First Celebrity Chef’ penned by multi-award-winning historian and actor Ian Kelly.
‘Careme’ is created by Kelly and lead writer Davide Serino with acclaimed filmmaker Martin Bourboulon serving as lead director on the series.
It is executive produced by Vanessa van Zuylen with VVZ Production and Dominique Farrugia with Banijay’s Shine Fiction for Apple TV+.
Cesar Award nominee Jeremie Renier (political genius Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord) and Cesar Award winner Lyna Khoudri (Henriette, Careme’s lover and most dangerous threat) also round out the cast of the series.
