đŸ·đŸ”„ CarĂȘme — First Look at Apple TV+’s Lavish Historical Drama


Out of the frying pan and into the fire.Premiering April 30, only on Apple TV+


Apple TV+ is serving up something sumptuous this spring with CarĂȘme, a captivating new historical drama that brings the life of the world’s first celebrity chef to the screen in all its rich, decadent glory. Based on Ian Kelly’s acclaimed biography “Cooking for Kings”, this French-language series is part culinary art, part political thriller—and it's as ambitious as its legendary subject.


đŸœïž The Rise of the First Celebrity Chef


At the heart of CarĂȘme is Marie-Antoine CarĂȘme, a name every gourmet should know. Born in poverty on the streets of Revolutionary Paris, CarĂȘme (played by Benjamin Voisin) would go on to revolutionize French cuisine, designing elaborate meals for emperors, kings, and diplomats alike. But in CarĂȘme, cooking is just the beginning.


Set against the opulence and chaos of Napoleonic Europe, the series traces CarĂȘme’s meteoric rise—from abandoned orphan to royal kitchens—where his unmatched culinary talent catches the eye of powerful figures like Talleyrand (played by JĂ©rĂ©mie Renier), who enlists him as a spy for France.


CarĂȘme dreams of fame, love, and legacy—but as he climbs the ladder of power, he’s forced to ask: Is the cost of greatness worth his soul?


đŸ‡«đŸ‡· A French Feast for the Eyes—and Mind


CarĂȘme isn’t your typical costume drama. It’s stylish, fast-paced, and dripping with tension, set to the backdrop of a volatile, changing Europe. With each course CarĂȘme serves, political secrets are plated, ambitions boiled, and loyalties tested.

Benjamin Voisin (Summer of 85, Lost Illusions) leads the series with charm and intensity, capturing CarĂȘme's obsessive genius and fragile heart. He’s joined by Lyna Khoudri as Henriette, and JĂ©rĂ©mie Renier as the cunning and calculating Talleyrand.


🎬 Who's Behind the Series?

CarĂȘme is more than just a show about food—it's about hunger. For success. For recognition. For love. And for something that lives on long after the last course is served.
