News of an interesting sounding show from Apple TV+. The Cupertino-streamer issued a press release late last week, announcing the docuseries “Omnivore.” Narrated by globally acclaimed chef René Redzepi, the release says:
…“Omnivore” will look at the world through the lens of food and explores how food binds and defines us, powers politics, shapes our beliefs, explains our past, and forecasts our future.
“Omnivore” explores the beauty, complexity and interconnectivity of human culture and the natural world through the way we manipulate, celebrate and consume its best resources – the ones we eat. Each episode will take viewers on a journey around the world, exploring the ingredients that have built societies, shaped spirituality and forever altered the human story.
Think they’ll do Cheez Whiz? I hope they do Cheez Whiz.
Behind the camera on “Omnivore,” Cary Joji Fukunaga. If you’re like me, you may not know the name but you do know the work. He directed the first season of HBO’s “True Detective,” the film Beasts of No Nation, and the recent James Bond installment No Time to Die. He’s currently directing the Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks produced series “Masters of the Air” for Apple TV+. He also has a first-look deal for scripted television projects with the Cupertino-streamer.
No word on when we can sink our teeth into “Omnivore.”
