Chef. Spy. Lover. Legend. Apple TV+ has released the highly anticipated trailer for Carême, a French-language historical drama that brings to life the extraordinary journey of Antonin Carême, the world’s first celebrity chef. Premiering on April 30, 2025, the series promises an enthralling mix of ambition, espionage, and culinary mastery.

A Taste of Carême’s Story

Set in the grandeur of Napoleonic Europe, Carême follows Antonin Carême (played by Benjamin Voisin), a young man who rises from poverty to become the most famous chef of his time. His culinary genius captures the attention of Europe’s most powerful figures, including Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord (Jérémie Renier), a key political strategist who sees more than just a talented cook—he sees a potential spy for France.

As Carême navigates the fine line between ambition and loyalty, he must decide what he values most: revenge, love, or the ultimate dream of culinary immortality. Will his passion for food become his ticket to power, or will his role in the political underworld lead to his downfall?

• Benjamin Voisin (Lost Illusions) as Antonin Carême

• Lyna Khoudri (Papicha) as Henriette

Directed by Martin Bourboulon (The Three Musketeers), Carême is based on Ian Kelly’s acclaimed biography, Cooking for Kings: The Life of Antonin Carême, the First Celebrity Chef.
