Ramsay Trades Chef Hat for Producer Role in Scripted TV
19 Dec
Summary
- Gordon Ramsay is producing his first scripted TV series.
- Rachel Bilson will star in the culinary drama adaptation.
- The series is based on Kathleen Flinn's Paris culinary school memoir.
Gordon Ramsay is venturing into scripted television production with a new series in development at Fox Entertainment. This project marks a significant career shift for the renowned chef, moving him from behind the cooking show set to a producing role for scripted content.
Rachel Bilson has been cast to lead the drama, portraying Kathleen Flinn, the author of the 2007 memoir "The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry." The series will adapt Flinn's personal story of leaving a corporate career to pursue culinary arts at Paris's prestigious Le Cordon Bleu.
Stephanie Danler, known for "Sweetbitter," is writing the adaptation. Ramsay will produce alongside his company, Studio Ramsay, with partners Lisa Edwards, Olivia Allen, and Flinn. This move follows Ramsay's recent success producing Apple TV's "Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars" and continues his transition to behind-the-scenes television creation.
