The Amazon Original Series Follows the First
Female Chef at the Famed Grand Tour Cycling Race
(NASDAQ:AMZN)—Amazon today announced it has greenlit an untitled
Hannah Grant Tour de France series for Prime Video. The Amazon
Original Series is a documentary adventure series about the
incredible athletes competing in the 104th Tour de France and the
food that keeps them alive. The series follows Grant, known as the
Queen of Performance Cooking among pro cyclists, as she and her
crew source and prepare healthy, high-performance meals for Team
Orica-Scott’s nine riders during the 23-day endurance race that
covers 21 stages and 2,200 miles.
The series, inspired by Grant’s book The Grand Tour Cookbook, goes behind the scenes at this
race-within-a-race, showcasing what it takes to maintain Grant’s
Michelin star-level cooking standards balanced with the “high
octane” dietary needs of professional athletes. During the Tour de
France, one of the world’s most physically demanding sporting
events, the racing team and Grant’s entire operation will move
daily, starting in Dusseldorf, Germany and ending in Paris for the
famous ride through city streets and the finish line at the
Champs-Élysées. The series will offer unprecedented
behind-the-scenes access to one of the largest annual sporting
events on the planet that billions around the world watch,
featuring a side of the race, the athletes and their support team
that many don’t even know exists.
“Hannah Grant is a world-class chef who has dedicated her career
to fueling some of the world’s most incredible athletes, operating
under impossible conditions to create cuisine that is gourmet and
that also fuels performance,” said Conrad Riggs, Head of
Unscripted, Amazon Originals. “We are thrilled to give Amazon Prime
members an inside look at the organized chaos behind one of the
world’s most prestigious and intense sporting events, in which
Grant and her team thrive.”
“It’s a rare gift to find a powerful new story angle into a
world and event as big as the Tour de France. It’s the
unprecedented intersection of sports, travel, and food,” said
Executive Producer Christof Bove. “Our goal is to give Amazon’s
global audiences an all-access look into the mechanics and passion
of this monolithic sporting event. Hannah is part of the vanguard
of next generation cooking. She brings with her attitude and
insight equal to this world of performance excellence. To survive
the Tour, you simply have to be the best of the best.”
The series is executive produced by Grant and Bove. The series
is produced by Junto Entertainment.
