Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Martin Bourboulon and starring César Award winner Benjamin Voisin, Carême will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on 30 April.
Apple TV+ has unveiled the provocative trailer for the upcoming new French-language drama Carême, starring César Award winner Benjamin Voisin (Summer of 85), César Award nominee Jérémie Renier (My Way), César Award winner Lyna Khoudri (The French Dispatch) and Alice Da Luz (Hanami). The series is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Martin Bourboulon (Les Trois Mousquetaires: D’Artagnan). Carême will make its global debut on Apple TV+ on 30 April, with the first two episodes, followed by one episode weekly, every Wednesday through 11 June.
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 most famous chef in the world, his talent and ambitions attract the attention of renowned and powerful politicians, who use him as a spy for France. Determined to escape poverty and fulfil 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 Cooking for Kings: The Life of Antonin Carême, the First Celebrity Chef by multi-award-winning historian and playwright Ian Kelly (The King’s Man), Carême is created by Kelly and Davide Serino. Carême is executive produced by Vanessa van Zuylen with VVZ Production and Dominique Farrugia with Banijay’s Shine Fiction for Apple TV+. The series was shot on location in emblematic sites in and around Paris, including Opéra Garnier, Palais des Tuileries, Palais Royal and more.
The series is the latest in French programming from Apple TV+, which includes La Maison, where high fashion meets high drama in a behind-the-curtain look at an iconic French haute couture house starring Lambert Wilson and Carole Bouquet; Liaison, a high-stakes, contemporary thriller exploring how the mistakes of our past have the potential to destroy our future, starring Vincent Cassel and Eva Green; the recently renewed multilingual French-Japanese drama Drops of God, inspired by the bestselling manga from award-winning Tadashi Agi and Shu Okimoto, starring Fleur Geffrier and Tomohisa Yamashita; and newly announced thriller A l’ombre des forêts, starring Benoît Magimel and Mélanie Laurent.
