BRITBOX ANNOUNCES NEW ORIGINAL SERIES CHOCOLATE WARS (WT), INSPIRED BY DEBORAH CADBURY’S BOOK AND THE TRUE STORY OF THE CADBURY FAMILY

The six-part series is produced by Fable Pictures and in association with Alfresco Pictures

Today, BritBox announced the new Original drama Chocolate Wars (WT), a commission with UKTV and Sony Pictures Television.

Inspired by Deborah Cadbury’s book and the true story of the Cadbury family, the period drama is produced by Fable Pictures, in association with Alfresco Pictures, and written by Chloë Mi Lin Ewart (All Creatures Great and Small, Beyond Paradise). The series will premiere on BritBox in 2027.

Chocolate Wars is a warm-hearted family drama following the visionary Cadbury family, the underdogs of the cocoa world, on their journey towards creating the world-famous Cadbury’s chocolate bar.

In 1860s Birmingham, when chocolate as we know it doesn’t yet exist, two very different brothers, Richard and George Cadbury, find themselves in charge of their family’s failing cocoa business. Between them, they have the radical genius and burning ambition to turn Cadbury’s into one of the world’s most beloved confectioners. But first, they must learn to trust and rely on each other. And to stop bickering for long enough to actually invent some chocolate! Their sister Maria is navigating her own role within the family and the business, but things become even more complicated when she falls in love with Cadbury’s biggest rival, and is forced to question where her true loyalties really lie. Infused with historical delights and magical invention, Chocolate Wars is about how we build, break and rebuild the bonds of family – and how the sweetest things in life are rarely simple.

The series (6×60’) is produced by Fable Pictures in association with Alfresco Pictures. Executive producers include Faye Ward, Freddie Highmore, Hannah Price and Claire Londy, with Jess O’Riordan and Jon Farrar executive producing for BritBox and Helen Perry for UKTV.

Directors for the series will be Tom McKay (After the Flood, Ten Pound Poms) and Jill Robertson (Ludwig, The Diplomat), with Hannah Farrell from Fable Pictures as series producer. Chloë Mi Lin Ewart leads the writing team, alongside Eve Hedderwick Turner and Karim Khan.

Casting is now underway, with filming in Birmingham set to begin this Summer. Sony Pictures Television will handle worldwide sales as international distributor, with Creative UK providing regional support through the ERDF funded West Midlands Production Fund.

QUOTE:

Jess O’Riordan, Commissioning Executive and Executive Producer, BritBox: “Full of warmth and charm, this true story brings the Cadbury family story to life with depth and imagination. We’re excited to partner with UKTV, Sony Pictures Television and Fable Pictures on a period drama we know BritBox audiences will truly savour.”

As a global distributor, Sony Pictures Television will introduce Chocolate Wars (w/t) to international clients at the studio’s 2026 L.A. Screenings Showcase. The annual event, which takes place at the historic Sony Pictures Lot in Culver City, Los Angeles, is happening this Sunday, May 17.

Coming this summer, W Network and Showcase are turning up the heat with the addition of The Five Star Weekend and Prisoner to their respective lineups. The Five Star Weekend starring Jennifer Garner will debut Thursday, July 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on W Network. The first three episodes of the series will drop exclusively on STACKTV on the day of premiere followed by one episode weekly. Meanwhile, action thriller Prisoner premieres Thursday, July 9 at 9 p.m. ET on Showcase and available to stream on STACKTV.

The Five Star Weekend is centered on Hollis Shaw (Jennifer Garner, The Last Thing He Told Me, Yes Day), a famed cook and best-selling author known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanor, who suffers a devastating loss. Unable to move forward, the death starts to expose the cracks in Hollis’ picture-perfect life – her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter, and her growing pursuit of validation from her fans. In an effort to overcome grief and find herself again, Hollis gets the idea to host a weekend away at her house on Nantucket with three friends from different stages in her life: her childhood, her twenties, thirties, and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, the stars will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.

The series also stars D’Arcy Carden ( The Good Place, Barry), Gemma Chan ( Crazy Rich Asians, The Actor), Regina Hall ( One Battle After Another, Girls Trip), Chloë Sevigny (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Big Love), Harlow Jane (She Came to Me, High Desert) and Timothy Olyphant ( Justified: City Primeval, Deadwood). The Five Star Weekend is created by Bekah Brunstetter, and Sue Naegle, Ali Krug, Minkie Spiro, Jennifer Garner, Merri Howard, Beth Schacter, Elin Hilderbrand and Brunstetter serve as executive producers. The series is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Prisoner follows Amber (Izuka Hoyle, Boiling Point, Big Boys), a principled young prison transport officer tasked with escorting Tibor (Tahar Rahim, The Serpent, Un Prophète), a trained killer and high-value inmate, to court to testify against his elite crime syndicate. When their convoy is brutally ambushed, she’s forced to put her life in his hands. As the sole survivors, handcuffed and on the run, they must race to reach their destination alive and on time.

Along the way, their uneasy alliance is tested as the syndicate closes in. Trust becomes a weapon and their shackled survival a moral dilemma, forcing Amber to confront how far she’ll go to protect what matters most.

Prisoner also stars Eddie Marsan ( Back to Black, The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe), Finn Bennett ( Black Doves, True Detective), Catherine McCormack ( Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, 28 Weeks Later), Leonie Benesch ( September 5, Babylon Berlin), Sam Troughton ( Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, Black Doves), Laurie Davidson ( The Girlfriend, Mary & George), Ken Nwosu ( Black Doves, Sticks and Stones), Brían F. O’Byrne ( Conclave, The Wonder) and Youssef Kerkour ( Lockerbie: A Search For Truth).

The series is directed by Otto Bathurst, with later episodes directed by Pia Strietmann. Executive producers are Matt Charman, Foz Allan, Otto Bathurst, and Adrian Sturges for Sky Studios.

This Spring, Lucie begins a new chapter with Chef Michael Angeloni at the helm, guiding the Michelin-recommended modern French restaurant through its evolution. Marking this transition is the debut of an à la carte offering and a refined raw bar experience centred around the restaurant’s signature bar.

On May 13, 2026 Lucie welcomed Chef Michael Angeloni as Partner & Executive Chef, joining Toronto restaurateur and Founder, Yannick Bigourdan and new Co-Owner Adam Teolis. Together, the three also own and operate three Toronto hot spots – The Berczy Tavern (listed as one of Foodism’s top restaurants for 2026), Notte Ristorante, and the newly opened Pasta Privato.

Nearly two decades ago, Angeloni and Bigourdan first connected in Toronto’s restaurant scene at Splendido, where Angeloni worked as a sous chef under the mentorship of Bigourdan and Chef David Lee. Working in the Splendido kitchen was one of several early experiences that grounded Angeloni in the discipline and precision of fine dining. It was there that the foundation for Bigourdan and Angeloni’s working relationship was formed. Now, years later, they reenter the world of French fine dining together, at Lucie.

“There’s a history there that you can’t really replicate,” says Bigourdan. “We’ve worked together long enough to understand how each other thinks.”

“Michael also knows what Lucie stands for at its core and brings a perspective that will allow it to grow,” he adds.

A New Way to Experience Lucie
Lucie has built its reputation on a refined menu experience – precise, restrained, and deeply focused. That foundation remains at the heart of the restaurant. Under Angeloni, it continues in a new, more personal way with the introduction of an à la carte menu that brings flexibility to the dining room for the first time. On this menu guests can expect:

Beef Pithivier – tenderloin encased in pastry, finished with mushroom jus and pomme purée

Seared Turbot – finished with kombu, miso, and roe

Tagliatelle – with beurre blanc and Ossetra caviar

“Classical cooking is a language, and at Lucie, we’re using it to say something Canadian,” says Angeloni. “The technique is rigorous, the ingredients are local, and the hospitality is the kind you’d find at a grandmother’s table. That combination is what this restaurant is.”

At the centre of this shift is also the introduction of a raw bar – reimagining Lucie’s central bar as a destination in its own right. It’s designed to feel inviting and approachable: a place for oysters and wine, small plates at the counter, or a full meal that unfolds informally. Raw bar offerings will include King Crab, Lobster Claws and PEI Mussels.

“Lucie already has a very clear identity,” says Angeloni. “The goal isn’t to change that – it’s to open it up. To give people more ways to come in, more ways to stay, and more reasons to return. For me, it also feels like a return to my French roots, which is exciting at this stage in my career. I’m looking forward to putting my own perspective on that foundation and expressing it through the dishes at Lucie in a way that still feels true to what the restaurant is.”

From Shared Kitchens to Shared Vision
Angeloni brings more than two decades of experience across some of Toronto’s most influential kitchens, each contributing to a style defined by discipline, clarity, and restraint.

His early career included work under Grant van Gameren at The Black Hoof, where he developed a foundation in whole-animal butchery and ingredient-driven cooking, followed by fine dining experience at Splendido with Chef David Lee. He went on to hold roles at L’Unità Enoteca and Grand Electric before stepping into leadership positions across The Berczy Tavern, Notte Ristorante, and Pasta Privato.

Bigourdan remains closely involved as Founder, continuing to guide Lucie’s long-term vision, while Teolis oversees day-to-day operations. With Angeloni leading the kitchen, the restaurant enters its next phase with continuity at its core and a renewed sense of flexibility in how it welcomes guests.

About Lucie
Lucie is where French technique meets Canadian terroir. A kitchen built on classical discipline and guided by the belief that the most extraordinary ingredient is often the one grown closest to home. Chef Michael Angeloni brings a grandmother’s warmth and a chef’s precision to every plate: foundational stocks, exacting butchery, and sauces built the old way, applied to the seasonal bounty of this country. The result is food that is visually refined and deeply comforting, served in a room that feels as alive as it does welcoming. It is Michelin-recommended.

Get ready to see the world through rose-coloured lenses. On Saturday, July 11, 2026, Toronto’s largest premium picnic—the highly-anticipated, high-energy annual event—Rosé Picnic, returns to the historic grounds of the Canadian Film Centre (CFC) for its landmark eighth edition.

Founded in 2017 by established event producer, Lori Heller of Heller Events, the Rosé Picnic has evolved into the ultimate summer social experience. From 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM on July 11, the CFC grounds will be transformed into a glamour-meets-fun, pink-and-white-infused interactive scene, featuring world-class wines, culinary excellence, fashion, and music—all with an impactful through-message of commitment to women’s health equity.

A Partnership with Purpose

New for 2026, Rosé Picnic is proud to announce its official partnership with Breast Cancer Canada (BCC). Aligning with BCC’s mission for health equity, this year’s event introduces “Breast Cancer Canada Alley,” a dedicated space showcasing independent, women-led businesses, allowing guests to shop and support established and emerging entrepreneurs while contributing to a vital cause.

“Our eighth edition of Rosé Picnic is about more than just a beautiful peak-summer day; it’s about community and impact,” says Lori Heller, Founder of The Rosé Picnic. “By partnering with Breast Cancer Canada, we are weaving a thread of advocacy and support into the very fabric of our feel-good picnic. Breast cancer has touched many people in my life, and this collaboration helps drive meaningful change through continued investment in research.”

“We are proud to partner with Rosé Picnic Toronto. Collaborations like this are powerful because they bring conversations about breast cancer and women’s health into accessible, engaging public spaces where awareness can grow through community connection,” says Kimberly Carson, CEO of Breast Cancer Canada. “Through research, education, and advocacy, we are working toward a future where every patient has access and equity. Rosé Picnic reflects that commitment, bringing people together to inform and engage around the importance of continued innovation. It is a reminder that progress is beautiful, and that living with and beyond breast cancer continues to be shaped by connection, knowledge, and partnership.”

Global Flavours and Sparkling Sophistication

The 2026 edition of Rosé Picnic features an impressive lineup of premium ‘Rose Gold’ sponsors and an exclusive sunglasses collection, elevating the guest experience.

MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, has unveiled a first-look clip for Paweł Pawlikowski’s (Ida, Cold War) hotly anticipated new film FATHERLAND ahead of its world premiere in this year’s official competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.

Written by Pawlikowski and Henk Handloegten, the film stars Academy Award®-nominated Sandra Hüller (Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall), Hanns Zischler (Munich, Germany Year 90 Nine Zero, Kings of the Road), August Diehl (A Hidden Life, Inglourious Basterds), Devid Striesow (All Quiet On The Western Front), and Anna Madeley (Patrick Melrose, All Creatures Great And Small).

The film is a MUBI, OUR Films (a Mediawan Company, Italy), Extreme Emotions (Poland), Nine Hours (Germany), and Chapter 2 (a Mediawan Company, France) production, in collaboration with Circle One (Italy) and Apocalypso Pictures, with the participation of Arte and Pathé. It is produced by Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli for OUR Films, Ewa Puszczynska for Extreme Emotions, Jeanne Tremsal and Edward Berger for Nine Hours, Dimitri Rassam for Chapter 2, and Lorenzo Gangarossa for Circle One.

The Match Factory is handling international sales.

Pawlikowski reunites with his longtime filmmaking team, which includes the Academy Award® nominated cinematographer Lukasz Zal, costume designer Aleksandra Staszko, and production designers Katarzyna Sobańska and Marcel Sławiński.

Pawlikowski’s Ida garnered 70 international awards, including 5 European Film Awards and the 2015 Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film. He won the Best Director Prize at Cannes in 2018 for Cold War and the film had 52 wins and 126 nominations, including Academy Award® nominations for Best Foreign Film, Best Director, and Best Cinematography.

SYNOPSIS
FATHERLAND centres on the relationship between the Nobel Prize-winning writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika (Sandra Hüller) – actress, writer and rally driver. In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, father and daughter embark on a challenging and emotional road trip in a black Buick taking them across a Germany in ruins – from US dominated Frankfurt to Soviet controlled Weimar. Returning home after sixteen years of exile in the US, Thomas Mann has to face not only a divided fatherland, but also a deep fracture within his own family.

With FATHERLAND, Pawlikowski picks up where he left off with his award-winning Ida and Cold War, exploring – in his elliptic, distilled style – the themes of identity, family, love and guilt amid the turmoil and confusion of post-war Europe.
