Selena + Chef
A taste of summertime.
Created by Selena Gomez
On HBO Max
A warm, playful cooking show built on the charm of a celebrity learning alongside expert chefs, designed as comfort viewing with low stakes and high encouragement.
Since social distancing at home, Selena Gomez has been spending more time in the kitchen than she ever imagined. But despite her many talents, it remains to be seen if cooking is one of them. In each episode, Selena will be joined remotely by a different master chef.
