Carême Season Two Given the Green Light by Apple TV
On the heels of its International Emmy Award nomination for Drama Series, Apple TV today announced a second season for the provocative French-language drama Carême, starring César Award winner Benjamin Voisin and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Martin Bourboulon (Les Trois Mousquetaires: D’Artagnan).
The series, slated to begin filming its second season next week in Paris, also stars César Award nominee Jérémie Renier (My Way) and Alice Da Luz (Hanami).
Following its global debut just one year ago, the “thrilling and sumptuous” drama Carême has been hailed as an “irresistible” “visual and narrative feast” featuring Voisin’s “charismatic and complex” “portrayal of the ‘first celebrity chef.’”
Quickly achieving a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the “delightful” series has received accolades from fans and critics worldwide. The first season of Carême is now streaming on Apple TV.
Carême follows the thrilling story of the world’s first celebrity chef, Antonin Carême (Voisin), who rose from humble beginnings in Paris to the height of culinary stardom in Napoleon’s Europe.
While he dreams only of becoming the world’s most famous chef, his talent and ambition attract the attention of renowned, powerful politicians who enlist him as a spy for France. Determined to escape poverty and fulfill his dream, Carême can choose revenge, or he can have it all — women, wealth, fame — but at what cost? His love? His soul? His life?
Based on the book Carême: The First Celebrity Chef by multi-award-winning historian, playwright and screenwriter Ian Kelly (The King’s Man), Carême is created by Kelly and Davide Serino (Mussolini: Son of the Century).
Carême is executive produced by Vanessa van Zuylen with VVZ Production and Dominique Farrugia with Shine Fiction (Banijay France) for Apple TV. The series films on location at emblematic sites in and around Paris, including the Palais des Tuileries, the Château de Fontainebleau, the Château de Chantilly, the Château de Compiègne, and more.
