Here’s what’s we know about the series based on life of Julia Child
A TV pilot based on the life of beloved chef Julia Child will be filming in downtown Worcester on Wednesday, March 18, according to a flyer distributed downtown by production company Lionsgate.
The flyer states production will be filming 8 a.m.-8 p.m. at 446 and 484 Main St., the glass tower and Denholm building.
The pilot is being produced by playwright Daniel Goldfarb, who was a producer of the critically acclaimed Amazon series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” Goldfarb tweeted “My pilot is cast” on Feb. 27.
The Hollywood Reporter reported in September that Oscar-nominee Joan Cusack was negotiating to star in the series, which the Reporter said was being shopped to HBO Max, the new streaming service set to launch in May. (TV Guide explained HBO Max -- an “aggressive Netflix competitor” -- in a Feb. 23 article.)
