When Darren Star announces a new show, we pay attention. The man has given us Emily In Paris and that says everything to us. As you know we’re addicted to that show. Not to mention we love Younger.
Now he’s got a new show, Uncorked. You would think that just by the title that we would have known that it would be about wine, but well I didn’t and so I will just take that big “L” and get better.
Uncorked is being developed for Netflix and, “delves into the life of a talented but self-destructive winemaker who returns to Napa for her second chance at love, legacy and that elusive 100 point wine. (Not that she’s constantly refreshing winespectator.com or anything.) This is a woman whose greatest passion is also her fatal flaw — a failing that, usually begins before lunch on Tuesday.”
Starr is teaming up with David Schulner to develop the show. We’re looking forward to seeing what they develip.
“Seeing audiences around the world fall in love with Emily in Paris has been a dream,” Darren shared in a statement. “As Emily’s story continues to inspire and unfold, I’m excited to continue my relationship with Netflix and explore a new world with Uncorked. We’re diving straight into the legacy and romance of Napa Valley, where every great vintage has a unique story to tell.”
“Darren and I wanted to create a series that explores what happens when your greatest passion is also your Achilles’ heel,” David added. “With Napa’s beauty and bounty as our setting, we hope the audience never wants to leave. We want to thank Netflix and Universal Television for indulging our copious amounts of day drinking in the name of meticulous research.”
Sounds amazing to us. What do you think? A show you’d watch?
