Sarah Lancashire

It's official: HBO Max has given an eight-episode series order to Julia, in which Last Tango in Halifax star Sarah Lancashire will play the iconic chef Julia Child.

As the entertainment world struggles to figure out what the new normal is during the coronavirus pandemic, the BBC greenlights a remake of Alan Bennett’s famous series of Talking Heads monologues with an all-star cast that includes Jodie Comer, Imelda Staunton, Martin Freeman and more. 

Last Tango in Halifax star Sarah Lancashire is set to play the iconic Julia Child in HBO Max's Julia, which aims to tell the complicated life story of the famous chef and television personality. 

It’s literally been years since we last heard from the Buttershaws and their extended brood. So it was a pleasant surprise, to say the least, when reports started surfacing this week that Last Tango in Halifax’s hiatus is coming to an end. Reports which were then confirmed by the BBC's Director of Content.

Fans of Last Tango in Halifax and Happy Valley star Sarah Lancashire, rejoice! You can now catch this wildly talented actress in the new Hulu mini-series National Treasure: Kiri. (And before you ask, it has nothing to do with Nicolas Cage on a American history scavenger hunt.)

This much buzzed about contemporary crime/mystery aired on Channel 4 in the UK back in January of this year, becoming that network's most watched drama series ever. Centered around the abduction and murder of Kiri Akindele, a young black girl in the foster care system, the four-episode mini-series examines the factors of race and family relationships in the aftermath of these tragic events.
