00:02 - That French chef of yours is really something.
00:04 Where is she, by the way?
00:05 (moans)
00:10 - Julia, she's taking a holiday,
00:11 and everyone at GBH is waiting for her to come back.
00:14 - Any tiny hints you can give me
00:15 about what you're thinking for season two?
00:17 - She needs to be re-inspired and reinvigorated
00:21 so she can come back with fresh ideas.
00:23 - Hello, Kansas City!
00:28 (upbeat music)
00:30 - Julia's got a much more complicated relationship
00:33 with France because it's her history.
00:34 It's where she changed from a housewife to a professional.
00:38 - Maybe if we went back to where it all started.
00:41 - We start in Provence with working on the cookbook,
00:44 Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Part Two.
00:46 She has this moment in the first episode
00:48 where she eats a really exciting new dish
00:50 that blew her mind.
00:51 - Oh, it's delicous.
00:54 Mine is a balloon, entirely new.
00:57 - She became obsessed with recreating it herself.
01:00 - Well, that's disappointing.
01:03 - It is a life-changing moment for her,
01:05 and that's how we launched the season.
01:07 - Now you lost your mind.
01:08 - Yes, what if I have?
01:10 - All these people come together,
01:11 and it's a little bit of a Midsummer Night's Dream,
01:13 a summer night with love and food and magic.
01:18 All of these extraordinary people having this chance
01:20 to feast at the table of life.
01:25 And then we went to Paris.
01:27 It's alive, it's thriving.
01:30 - Filming in Paris is kind of like filming in New York.
01:33 You can point a camera anywhere you want,
01:35 and you're gonna see something glorious and fascinating.
01:38 - Beautiful countryside, stunning buildings,
01:42 a real love and respect for art and for food.
01:47 - You look like a little hot chocolate mustache.
01:50 - So do you.
01:54 - We're into that mid-60s where everything in the world
01:58 is beginning to change.
01:59 - I wanna start taking more control over my life,
02:02 and not just making accommodations for other people.
02:04 - In terms of food, in terms of marriage,
02:07 in terms of social and political changes in the country,
02:10 in terms of feminism.
02:11 - And this is by women, for women.
02:13 - Russ, he's got the opportunity
02:15 to create this docuseries.
02:17 Vietnam, we inform, you decide.
02:19 It's exciting, but also it's nerve-wracking.
02:23 - Taking on subjects of this magnitude,
02:25 I wanna get it right.
02:26 - Success changes you, failure changes you,
02:29 everything changes.
02:30 Julia can't stay in the same place,
02:32 because if she stays in the same place
02:34 while the world is moving forward, she's moving backward.
02:36 - Hunter wants to do something called product placement.
02:40 I'm not a salesman, I'm a teacher.
02:42 - Julia is really inspiring because she's a woman
02:45 that is standing in her own power and strength.
02:48 She's not trying to be anybody else,
02:50 she's authentically herself.
02:52 - Life doesn't come to you when you're six foot two
02:54 and look like me.
02:56 - GBH, people feel their jobs are on the line
02:59 to come up with another hit.
03:01 Alice brilliantly orchestrates getting Julia
03:05 into the White House for a White House special,
03:07 the real White House special that Julia made,
03:09 did win an Emmy, it was a big deal.
03:11 None of them thought that this middle-aged woman
03:15 talking about cooking would be the thing
03:17 that brought GBH national recognition.
03:20 - She's getting opportunities to go bigger and expand.
03:24 - Russ has the opportunity to realize his dream.
03:27 There's really compelling plot points.
03:29 - While you are working on the details of this one show,
03:31 I'm tasked with saving the entire station.
03:33 - Season two, it's got more of everything,
03:36 specifically with Paul and Julia's past
03:38 and their involvement in the government
03:41 and some darker chapters that get explored
03:44 and finally revealed.
03:45 - The heart of the story is Julia's enthusiasm for life.
03:48 Second chances, the idea that you can make something
03:51 at any point of your life as long as you throw yourself in
03:55 with all your heart.
03:56 You feel as if the story is all around you.
03:59 It transports you and it's magical.
04:01 - Now if you'll excuse me, I have a show to make.
