Watch Sarah Lancashire as Julia Child in the Trailer for 'Julia'

HBO Max has released the trailer for their upcoming series Julia, which dramatizes the life and career of beloved culinary icon, cookbook author, and all-around PBS favorite Julia Child.

The eight-episode series arrives March 31 and is inspired by Child's extraordinary life, which included everything from cooking superstardom to a stint with the government organization that was a precursor to the CIA. You can still see Child's iconic kitchen today at the Smithsonian, that's how big a deal she was and still is to our popular culture.

Set during the years immediately following the publication of her bestselling cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia sees Child working to launch her first television series, The French Chef, at public television station WGBH, where she faced pushback from sexist and elitist producers. But with the help of friends and allies, her cooking series not only becomes a hit but changes the face of television as we know it.
