Julia wrapped its second season in December, and viewers have been left wondering if a third season of the Max series will happen.
Starring Sarah Lancashire, David Hyde Pierce, Bebe Neuwirth, Brittany Bradford, Fran Kranz, Rachel Bloom, and Fiona Glascot, the series shows the life of Julia Child as she filmed her PBS series, The French Chef, during the 1960s.
Creator and executive producer Daniel Goldfarb spoke about the possibility of a third season in an interview with Variety. He said the following about Julia:
“We are daydreaming about a third season, and actually looking a little later in the ’60s, where it feels like there’s so many incredible things that happened in the biography. As “The French Chef” went through some major shifts and the cookbook came out, Julie’s relationship with Simca could change. At the party in the end of the finale, when Julia declares that she wants to be on the right side and she wants to make some noise — that’s what I hope we get to do. I hope we get to make some noise.”
As for Alice’s future, showrunner and executive producer Chris Keyser, said:
“I think her relationship with Isaac is obviously going to grow and develop. It’s an example of a relationship that’s now based on the idea that man is going to live with a woman who needs to work. We’ll see how that works out.”
Max has not yet renewed Julia for a third season. The show was renewed for a second season in May 2022, as the first season was coming to a close.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed watching the Julia series on Max? Do you want to see a third season, or would you be okay with the series being cancelled?
I didn’t love the first couple of episodes of season 2, but once Julia returned to the states the season felt like it found its footing again. I really hope Max gives the show a third season. It’s really unique and very enjoyable.
