Au Revoir, 'Julia' – Max Cancels Julia Child Homage After Second Season

A number of queer-friendly streaming shows suffered the sophomore slump. Yesterday Max announced that "Julia," its biographical series on Julia Child's success with "The French Chef," will not be returning after recently airing its second season finale.

"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 spokesperson 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."

The period dramedy originally debuted on the streamer in March 2022, with Season 2 launching in November 2023. Each season consisted of eight episodes.
