The award-winning Laia Costa and Guillermo Pfening star in the series.
FOODIE LOVE, the eight-episode drama series produced by HBO Europe in Spain, premieres in Latin America on November 6 at 8:00 p.m. on HBO and HBO GO. The series is Goya Award winner Isabel Coixet's first television drama project and was shot on location in Spain, Italy, France and Japan.
FOODIE LOVE follows two people in their 30’s after meeting on a dating app for foodies. Together they will embark on a gastronomic journey, learning from each other through ham, ramen and haute cuisine from around the world. However, while they bond over a shared devotion to Japanese yuzu and a dislike for foodie pretense, their insecurities and doubts fueled by the scars of their previous relationships may prevent them from tasting true love.
Actress Laia Costa plays a clever book editor who is suspicious of relationships. Nominated for a BAFTA as a rising star in 2017, Costa won the Gaudí Award for her performance in the multi-award-winning film "Victoria," along with a nomination for best actress at the European Film Awards. Argentine actor and director Guillermo Pfening plays a successful mathematician who, from time to time, is somewhat naive. Pfening won the best actor award at the Tribeca Film Festival for his performance in the feature film "Nobody Looks at Us."
FOODIE LOVE is written and directed by Isabel Coixet, and produced by Miss Wasabi films for HBO Europe. Executive Producers for HBO Europe are Miguel Salvat, Steve Matthews and Antony Root.
