Arriving in France in 1948 with her husband Paul, Julia had the idea to master the art of cooking gourmet French dishes.

But would this story be worthy of a film adaptation if there were no big problems in it?..

“Julia ss 2”: release date, announcement

The continuation of the culinary biographical drama “Julia” was not officially announced, although HBO management was initially ready to cooperate with the creator of the project, Daniel Goldfarb, if he decided on the next season. The ratings of the season 1 turned out to be very high, and it makes no sense to stop there. It is possible that new episodes will appear in the spring of 2023, which would be quite logical, since the creation of a full-fledged season most often takes a year of work.

Plot

The amazing Julia Child began her career in America, in the war, developing an anti-poison that can make mines not explode when sharks swim by. Successful service gave her many awards, as well as a meeting with her long-awaited husband. Relationship with Paul for her was a joy.

They had no children, and over time, this became a heavy burden for a woman.

After moving to the States, Julia released a book on which she pored over with her French friend Simone Beck. She taught in her homeland at the school “Le Cercle des Gourmettes”, where Julia once studied. A circulation of 30,000 books sold out before Christmas by American housewives was the first sign that it was time for Julia to expand her knowledge.

By that time, the woman was invited to a popular show in which she made a splash. Her electric stove, frying pan, cutlery and food brought from home allowed her to cook the most delicious scrambled eggs in just 5 minutes, which she spent talking with the host. Forgetting to tell about her book, Julia had to leave — the air time was over.

Already at home, she comes up with the idea of ​​​​agreeing with a TV company and launching a culinary show where she will cook foreign dishes for American women. After telling her intentions over the phone, Child is denied. But having found support in the person of the channel employee, she makes another attempt. Julia offers to take care of the costs.

The case begins to develop, but now the woman will have to face larger problems. Unfortunately, at the wrong time, Julia finds out that her body is losing reproductive functions, and she will no longer be able to have children. Trying to free herself from sad thoughts, Julia completely immerses herself in her new hobby — a popular show where she cooks for a million audience…
