Apple TV+ to Launch French Drama 'Carême' April 30, 2025

Apple TV+ is set to premiere 'Carême,' a French-language drama series about Antonin Carême, the world’s first celebrity chef, on April 30, 2025. The show, directed by Martin Bourboulon and inspired by Ian Kelly's book 'Cooking for Kings,' chronicles Carême's rise from poverty to culinary stardom during Napoleon's era, while also suggesting he served as a spy for French politicians. Starring César Award winners Benjamin Voisin and Lyna Khoudri, the series will explore themes of ambition, fame, and personal sacrifice. 'Carême' is part of Apple TV+’s broader strategy to expand its international programming, which includes other French titles like 'La Maison' and 'Liaison.' The series aims to captivate viewers with its blend of historical drama and political intrigue. The show will debut with two episodes, followed by weekly releases through June 2025.
