Hulu has set a week-long British binge-cation with five shows from across the pond debuting the last week of July.
First up is Jamie: Keep Cooking and Carry On, a cooking show from renowned chef Jamie Oliver that features easy-to-follow recipes, ingredient swaps, and tips to inspire people staying at home. After premiering on Channel 4 in March, the COVID-friendly series, filmed on Jamie’s and his family’s phones, makes its Hulu debut Monday, July 27th.
Tuesday, July 28th sees the debut of music industry comedy Maxxx. From O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid’s Tale, Looking), the series follows the eponymous former boy band star (Fagbenle) as he seeks the personal and professional redemption that a full-scale musical comeback could bring. In order to make that happen, Maxxx attempts to convince his former manager (Christopher Meloni) to take him back so that he can prove to his fans, critics, loved ones, and himself that he still has what it takes to be a star.
In addition to Fagbenle and Meloni, Maxxx stars Helen Monks (Raised by Wolves), Javone Prince (Find Me in Paris), Jourdan Dunn (Zoolander 2), and Pippa Bennett-Warner (Harlots).
