The historical drama Carême, created by Apple TV and directed by Martin Bourboulon, is set to return for a second season. The first season, which follows the life of renowned chef Antonin Carême (played by Benjamin Voisin) during the early 1800s under Napoleon’s rule, was recently nominated for an Emmy Award in the Best International Series category. This recognition highlights the show’s growing international appeal and quality. Filming for the new season is scheduled to begin soon in the Paris region, as confirmed by Apple TV in official statements. The first season ended with the coronation of Napoleon, where Carême was responsible for designing the elaborate feast, marking a significant moment in his career.
The second season is expected to focus on the military campaigns of Napoleon and may explore key historical events such as the betrayal by Talleyrand, which preceded Napoleon’s two abdications. While the series does not feature Napoleon directly, it centers on Joseph Fouché (Micha Lescot), who serves as the main antagonist. The show also delves into Carême’s personal relationships, including his connection with his childhood love, Henriette de Chitenay (Lyna Khoudri), and his sous-chef, Agathe (Alice Da Luz). These personal elements add depth to the narrative and provide a more rounded view of Carême’s life beyond his professional achievements.
Carême has been widely praised for its blend of historical storytelling and creative adaptation of a real-life figure. The series offers a unique perspective on the early 19th century, highlighting both the grandeur and challenges of the time through the lens of a celebrated chef. The show's success has been attributed to its attention to detail, strong performances, and the way it brings history to life for a modern audience. With the second season on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating how the story will continue to unfold.
The production team has emphasized that the second season will maintain the same high standards of historical accuracy and storytelling that made the first season so successful. Filming in Paris is expected to enhance the authenticity of the setting, allowing viewers to experience the atmosphere of the time period more vividly. As the series progresses, it promises to offer more insight into the political and social dynamics of the era, while continuing to explore the personal journey of Antonin Carême.
