Awkwafina Apple TV culinary docuseries release

Overview

Apple TV has announced the premiere date of November 6, 2026, for the eight-part docuseries ‘Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook’. The series follows actress and comedian Nora Lum, professionally known as Awkwafina, as she attempts to learn culinary basics to honor her family’s gastronomic heritage and revive Lum’s, a Cantonese restaurant formerly operated by her family in Flushing, New York.

To prepare for the reopening, Lum travels across the United States, including training at the Culinary Institute of America, exploring Texas barbecue with Jimmy O. Yang, and studying tiki culture in Hawai‘i. Guided by chefs such as Roy Choi and Martin Yan, the series also features the fast-paced environment of a Chinatown restaurant in Los Angeles. The documentary culminates in a personal challenge where Lum prepares a meal for her grandmother.
