NEW HULU PERIOD SET SHOW
HISTORY OF A PLEASURE SEEKER
Hulu has ordered a pilot for a TV series adaptation of Richard Mason's novel HISTORY OF A PLEASURE SEEKER. To be produced by Bridgerton's Julie
Anne Robinson, it will be a musical drama set in Amsterdam in 1907 — a tale of a charismatic young man’s explosive adventures through all the temptations of the Belle Époque. Fremantle is among the producers of the story that follows Piet Barol, who has an instinctive appreciation for pleasure and a gift for finding it. When his mother dies, Piet applies for a job as tutor to the troubled son of Europe’s leading hotelier – a child who refuses to leave his family’s mansion on one of Amsterdam’s grandest canals. As Piet enters this glittering world, he learns its secrets and finds his life transformed. Super dashing Richard Mason will write the show himself.

RUSS AND DAUGHTERS SERIES
ON THE HISTORIC NY SHOP
Another period set saga will come to us from Time Studios who are developing a family saga on the famous RUSS AND DAUGHTERS culinary shop in New York examining its history and the family behind it. Russ &
Daughters is a historic shop opened by Joel Russ on New York’s Lower East Side in 1914. Today, it remains a culinary icon, famous for providing the highest quality, when it comes to smoked fish, caviar, bagels, bialys, babka and other Jewish delicacies. The original shop on East Houston Street is enshrined as a New York treasure and reflects four generations of the Russ family’s dedication to excellence, history and tradition. It is also the first known American business with “& Daughters” in its name. Spanning over a century, it all started as an immigrant story about pursuing a new life in America and grew into generations of family members with their trials and tribulations set against the backdrop of dozens of critical moments in the society.

I haven't tried Dutch customers yet, so I don't have an opinion, but I'm dying to see the Russ and Daughters series.
ReplyDeleteHope both will be interesting, I'm very into scripted shows that involve cooking and food :)
DeleteI don't have Hulu but hopefully there will be some good shows on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteHope dies last.
DeleteWould be great to be able to eye-taste some Jewish delicacies! RUSS AND DAUGHTERS should be a light and entertaining one for summer!
ReplyDeleteUnless the have some juicy family drama in it. They guy who owns it right now seems very decent and nice.
DeleteI wish I would have known about Russ and Daughters before we went to NY. I would have definitely visited. Guess I’ll have to stick with enjoying it through the series.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible they have an ordering website with their utensils and cutlery.
DeleteI'm sure they do, but I would have liked to have seen the building. That's what makes traveling so fun for me. I hardly ever remember the food, but I always remember the experience of being in that place and seeing everything there is to see.
DeleteThe building looks quite fugly to me, but I guess they want to keep the old look of the original store.
DeleteThese both look great today! I would want to read the book before watching the first one, though. Growing up on the north shore of Long Island, we had the best Jewish bakeries. Now you got me reminiscing and REALLY hungry. :)
ReplyDeleteAt least you can visit the shop above.
