Max Sets November Premiere Date for 'Julia' Season 2
Charming drama Julia will make its way back to our screens just in time for Thanksgiving. Max announced the second season of the Julia Child-focused series will premiere this November and run for eight episodes.
The series stars Last Tango in Halifax alum Sarah Lancashire as the titular Julia, and is inspired by Child's life and 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 and introduces viewers to her loving, supportive marriage with husband Paul.
The eight-episode second season expands Julia's world both literally and figuratively as the story takes her to Paris and the French Riviera to reunite with fellow French cookbook writer Simca Beck (Isabella Rosselini), decompress after the events of the series' first season, and grapple emotionally with her rising fame and celebrity.
