"Nobody wants me to succeed." Hulu / Disney+ have revealed a flashy first look teaser trailer for the titled Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, arriving for streaming (worldwide) right in the middle of the summer. This French series about haute couture & the fashion industry was developed under the original title Kaiser Karl, produced by Gaumont and Jour Premier, with six episodes arriving to watch in June. The infamous German fashion designer Karl Otto Lagerfeld passed away in 2019 after an illustrious and elaborate career. Becoming Karl Lagerfeld plunges viewers into the heart of the 70s, in Paris, Monaco, and Rome, to follow the formidable blossoming of this complex and iconic personality of Parisian couture, already driven by the ambition to become the Emperor of fashion. Between glamour and clashes of egos, grandiose parties and destructive passions, discover the story of Karl before Lagerfeld. Daniel Brühl stars as Karl Lagerfeld, with Théodore Pellerin as Jacques de Bascher, Arnaud Valois as Yves Saint Laurent, Alex Lutz as Pierre Bergé, and Agnès Jaoui. I'm a fan of Brühl so I'm curious, especially taking us all back to the dashing 70s.

Here's the first look teaser trailer (+ poster) for Disney+'s series Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, on YouTube:
