Sarah Lancashire is changing the face of home cooking, from solving Yorkshire crime to revolutionizing home cooking. The “Happy Valley” actress toplines “Julia,” an HBO Max series inspired by Julia Child. A new trailer for the series about the trailblazer behind “The French Chef” has been released.
“At this stage of my life, I want to feel relevant,” Julia explains. She pitches an educational cooking show that’ll host. The idea is not universally accepted. “Shouldn’t we go with someone with a more camera-friendly look and a less distinctive sound?” a male TV exec asks.
Julia refuses to accept no and insists until she gets a green signal from a Boston public television station. “The French Chef” goes on the air — and Julia becomes a star.
Lancashire will reprise her role as Sergeant Catherine Cawood in “Happy Valley’s” long-awaited third and final season. Sally Wainwright’s crime drama is slated to return this year.
“Julia” debuts on HBO Max March 31.
