Apple TV+ announced today the global premiere date for Carême, a new biopic-historical drama series from France.
Starring César Award winner Benjamin Voisin (Lost Illusions, Summer of 85, The Mad Women’s Ball), 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 Carême 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 fulfill his dream, Carême can choose revenge, or he can have it all — women, wealth, fame — but at what cost?
Carême premieres globally with two episodes on Wednesday, April 30, exclusively on Apple TV+ and its digital channels, including Apple TV+ on Prime Video Channels. New episodes will drop weekly on Wednesdays through June 11.
Costars in the eight-episode French-language drama include César Award nominee Jérémie Renier (My Way, Saint Laurent), César Award winner Lyna Khoudri (Papicha, November), and Alice Da Luz (Hanami, And the Party Goes On). The series is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Martin Bourboulon (Les Trois Mousquetaires: D’Artagnan, Eiffel).
Inspired by the book Cooking for Kings: The Life of Antonin Carême, the First Celebrity Chef by multi-award-winning historian and actor Ian Kelly (The King’s Man), Carême is created by Kelly and Davide Serino (The Bad Guy, M. Son of the Century, Esterno notte). The series is executive produced by Vanessa van Zuylen of VVZ Production and Dominique Farrugia of Banijay’s Shine Fiction for Apple TV+. The series was shot on location in and around Paris.
