According to Deadline, Max has opted to not renew its Julia Child-centered comedy drama series for a third season. The cancellation comes after less than a month since Julia Season 2 had concluded its 8-episode run.
“We are so honored to have partnered with Chris Keyser, Daniel Goldfarb and their masterful creative team and dynamic cast, led by Sarah Lancashire, as they cooked up Julia,” a Max representative said in a statement. “Thanks to their beautiful work over two seasons of this heartful, sensual, and inspiring show, we can forever celebrate the incredible legacy of Julia Child.”
