One of CNN’s newest TV shows starring Desperate Housewives vet Eva Longoria has been added to HBO Max. As of today, all eight episodes of Eva Longoria: Searching for France are available to stream on HBO Max.
What do we know about Eva Longoria’s exotic TV show?
Eva Longoria: Searching for France features Longoria going on a journey across France to explore its culinary history. It serves as a spin-off of Longoria’s popular Searching for series, which already brought the acclaimed star to Mexico and Spain. In addition to hosting, Longoria is also executive producing alongside Cris Abrego, Rachelle Mendez, and showrunner Shauna Minoprio for Hyphenate Media Group; Eve Kay for Dragonfly; and Amy Entelis and Lyle Gamm for CNN Original Series.
After wrapping up the first season, CNN announced the Season 2 renewal of the new travel show, which is now expected to return in 2027. The new installment will bring Longoria to Champagne, Lyon, and more to continue exploring France’s rich culinary traditions, vibrant cultures, and lesser-known regional histories.
“A devoted Francophile whose career has taken her to France countless times, Longoria now goes deeper, savoring the traditions, innovations, and regional flavors that have defined French cuisine for centuries. Along the way, she uncovers the history that shaped it, from royal courts and monastic vineyards to the regional communities that turned local ingredients into enduring culinary traditions,” reads the official synopsis.
“This season, Longoria samples fresh oysters in Paris, flavorsome bouillabaisse in Provence, and fluffy frog legs mousseline in Alsace. She tastes her way through braised boeuf bourguignon in Burgundy, buttery blue lobster in Brittany, and beefy Bordelaise sauce in Bordeaux. In two special episodes, she returns to Paris — first to immerse herself in the Parisian art of pâtisserie, and then to indulge in an extraordinary meal along the River Seine that traces how French cuisine conquered the world in seven dishes.”
