Cary Fukunaga Has Quietly Made a Foodie Docu-Series for Apple TV+

July 14, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

It’s been almost three years since allegations came out against Cary Fukunaga. He hasn’t directed a film since 2021’s “No Time to Die.”

In April and May 2022, three women accused Fukunaga of various forms of sexual harassment, including “pursuing relationships with them” on the set of “Masters of Air”. Then on May 31st, 2022, Rolling Stone added new allegations, via "nearly a dozen sources," that Fukunaga pursued younger women on set.

“Masters of Air” aired earlier this year on Apple TV, with nary a mention of Fukunaga’s name in the promo material. The reviews were decent, but there’s something to be said about how the streamer painstakingly attempted to brush away his involvement in the series.

Fukunaga is currently attempting a comeback. Back in May, it was announced that he would helm “77 Blackout,” starring Tom Hardy and Mahershala Ali, and although I’m told that film is nowhere near close to starting production, it can definitely be seen as a positive for Fukunaga’s comeback attempt.

Now we’re seeing Apple announcing that Fukunaga’s docu-series, Omnivore, will premiere on July 19. It looks like “food porn,” and there’s no mention of Fukunaga’s involvement. I would image this was greenlit, in early 2022, right before the allegations occurred. However, Apple didn’t nix it, it’s definitely being shown.

Before these allegations, Fukanaga broke out with high wire directing in the first season of “True Detective.” He also helmed the much-lauded “Beasts of No Nation,” a popular Netflix series, “Manic,” and, as mentioned, Daniel Craig’s final Bond movie. He had quite the potential future ahead of him.
