In a recent tweet, the Schitt’s Creek star said the show – titled The Big Brunch – is for people who are “building communities around their cooking” and “looking for their big break”.
The Emmy winner has been roped in as host and creator of the show that will also turn the spotlight on “one of the most versatile and underestimated dining experiences” – brunching.
In an official statement, Levy said he created this show for American’s local culinary heroes as a platform to showcase their passion.
“That, and who doesn’t want to watch maple syrup being poured slowly over a golden stack of perfectly cooked, creme brûlée inspired French toast?”
Levy has teamed up with Boardwalk (that also produced Netflix’s 2015 documentary series Chef’s Table) forThe Big Brunch, where “chefs will be offered the opportunity to share their stories and their business dreams” while competing for a “life altering prize”.
HBO Max’s Head of Original Content Sarah Aubrey said there’s “no better foodie” than Levy to celebrate America’s undiscovered culinary talents whose “unique skills elevate the beloved brunch menu”.
The Big Brunch will be HBO Max’s second food-centric show helmed by an A-lister.
Actor and singer Selena Gomez headlines the studio’s 2020 show Selena + Chef, now in its third season.
The show follows Gomez as she attempts to learn new recipes from world renowned chefs, like Curtis Stone and Graham Elliot, over a video call.
