Status: Renewed. Apple TV has officially ordered a second season of Carême, the lush French-language drama about the world’s first celebrity chef, who cooks his way through Napoleon’s Europe and gets pulled into political espionage.
Apple confirmed the renewal on September 29, 2026, with star Benjamin Voisin returning and production due to start in Paris in October. If you never caught the first run, all eight Season 1 episodes are streaming now on Apple TV in the United States, so there is plenty of time to get up to speed before the follow-up arrives.
What Apple TV confirmed about Season 2
Apple ordered the second season after the show earned an International Emmy Award nomination for Drama Series, a rare feather for a subtitled title in a crowded prestige field. Benjamin Voisin returns in the title role, and the production is set to begin filming in Paris in October 2026. Apple has not yet announced how many episodes Season 2 will run or which of the supporting cast will be back, and it has not shared a story synopsis for the new chapter.
Where to watch Carême in the US
Carême streams exclusively on Apple TV, the service Apple recently rebranded from Apple TV+. All eight episodes of Season 1 are available to stream on demand, so US viewers can binge the full season in one go. A subscription is required to watch, and Apple offers a free trial to new subscribers. Episodes play in the original French with English subtitles, and an English-dubbed audio track is also available.
What Carême is about
The series follows Antonin Carême (Voisin), a real historical figure widely remembered as the first celebrity chef, who climbs from poverty in post-Revolution Paris to the top tables of Napoleon’s Europe. His talent in the kitchen makes him famous, and that fame makes him useful: powerful figures recruit him to gather secrets at the dinners he cooks. The cast includes Jérémie Renier as the scheming diplomat Talleyrand, Alice Da Luz as fellow chef and ally Agathe Guichardet, and Lyna Khoudri. Martin Bourboulon directs.
Why Apple renewed it
The renewal is a bet on an under-the-radar international hit. Carême pairs the kitchen-under-pressure energy of a show like The Bear with costume-drama intrigue, and its Emmy nomination gave Apple a critical calling card to point to. For US audiences, it is exactly the kind of buzzy foreign-language drama that tends to be talked about far more in Europe than in the American press — which makes an early second-season order a sign of real confidence rather than a wait-and-see hold.
When will Season 2 premiere?
Apple has not set a premiere date. With cameras due to roll in Paris starting in October 2026, a 2027 debut would be typical for a period production of this scale once filming and post-production are complete, but nothing beyond the start of shooting has been confirmed. We will update this page as Apple announces a release window.
