Upcoming Julia Season 2: Release Date and Cast Updates

HBO Max will soon premiere the second season of Julia. This eight-episode season will follow Julia as she achieves fame as a public television cooking show host and examine the social and political unrest during that era. Sarah Lancashire, David Hyde Pierce, Bebe Neuwirth, Brittany Bradford Fran Kranz and Fiona Glascott star as Julia in this show.

What is Julia?

Julia Child, as played by Sarah Lancashire in the HBO Max series of the same name, is one of America’s most revered chefs. Through her books, cooking shows, and legacy she revolutionized how people eat and view food. Julia Child also made history when she became one of the first professional female television presenters ever.

Beginning in 1961, Julia is invited to appear on a literary program on public television station WGBH. As she applies her makeup, associate producer Alice Naman introduces herself and invites Julia back for a cooking show; Paul initially objects, claiming cooking is “women’s work,” but when Julia agrees, Paul follows suit.

After filming her initial episode, Julia quickly becomes dissatisfied with her performance and sends a letter proposing more scenes of herself to the station – to which 27 viewers responded positively to it. Although initially reluctant, Julia agrees to continue appearing on the show under one condition: that she be made full producer and visit Simca in France regularly.

Julia and her staff work diligently to launch the show on television, while Avis volunteers to be Paul’s nurse when he contracts the flu, eventually becoming close with Julia and becoming Paul’s nurse herself. Blanche Knopf, Julia’s publisher, objects strongly to having Judith focus on cooking rather than writing novels – an objection which quickly puts an end to Julia and Avis’ efforts at becoming close as Paul recovers.
