HBO Max Sets Premiere Date for 'Julia' Starring Sarah Lancashire
It's official: Julia, the HBO Max drama chronicling the life of the famous cookbook author and television personality Julia Child, will arrive on the streaming platform this March.
Last Tango in Halifax star Sarah Lancashire will play the iconic chef---an intriguing casting choice given that Child is such a specifically American figure---opposite former Frasier star David Hyde Pierce as Julia's husband Paul. The first three installments of the eight-episode series will arrive on the streaming platform beginning March 31, with weekly drops to follow each Thursday.
Lancashire is probably best known to American audiences for her role in Last Tango but she has starred in a diverse array of projects, including crime drama Happy Valley and period series like Lark Rise to Candleford and The Paradise.
