Julia

In 1962, cookbook author Julia Child boldly pitches a groundbreaking television series centered on demonstrations for the home cook--despite pushback from male station executives and her own husband.

Facing mounting pressure from station executives, Julia struggles to figure out how to present a complicated recipe. Later, on-set flubs threaten the future of the show--and Julia's career.

When the show goes over budget, Julia doubles down on her efforts to continue making her dream a reality. As Paul contends with his fearsome father-in-law, Alice struggles with her new assignment.

With their resident chef’s star on the rise, WGBH struggles to keep the rest of their talent happy. Meanwhile, Julia pays a visit to her alma mater, Smith, as Paul deals with a lackluster gallery opening, and Alice explores a new strategy that could forever change public television.

In San Francisco, Julia tests the waters of her newfound celebrity status alongside celebrated chef James Beard, leaving a brooding Paul to question the true cost of his wife’s fame.

While Paul and Judith experiment with baking, Julia tackles a different kind of “bread.” As a sleep-deprived Russ tasks Alice with even more work, the future of Avis’s position on the show is called into question.
