Julia, a new drama series based on the life of Julia Child, premieres on Thursday, March 31, on Max. The series stars Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley) as Julia, who pioneered the home cooking-show genre, and David Hyde Pierce as her husband Paul Cushing Child, who supported her as she became a national icon and the household breadwinner.

The cast also includes Bebe Neuwirth, Fran Kranz, and Fiona Glascott, with guest stars including Isabella Rossellini, Jefferson Mays, and Judith Light throughout the 8 episode first season.
