RARE PHOTOS: Becoming karl lagerfeld release date cast plot trailer first looks and everything we know - The Real Truth

Becoming Karl Lagerfeld on Disney Plus and Hulu stars Daniel Brühl and Théodore Pellerin.

Becoming Karl Lagerfeld is a Hulu and Disney Plus drama series that comes hot on the heels of other hit shows and films about famous fashion designers, namely Christian Dior in The New Look (Apple TV+), plus Cristóbal Balenciaga (Disney Plus, Hulu), Halston (Netflix) and House of Gucci, not to forget the The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.

Set in France in the 1970s, it's a gripping biopic that shows the life and loves of the so-called 'Emperor of Fashion' Karl Lagerfield. Starring Daniel Brühl as the German icon and based on the book Kaiser Karl by Raphaëlle Bacqué, it focuses on his journey from an unknown ready-to-wear designer to an icon of Parisian couture. A French language film with English subtitles, the series also digs into Karl Lagerfeld’s real-life rivalry with his friend Yves Saint Laurent and his love for the troubling young dandy Jacques de Bascher (Théodore Pellerin).
