Grande Maison Paris (Japanese: グランメゾンパリ, Hepburn: guranmezonpari) is a Japanese film produced by TBS Sparkle and distributed by Toho and Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan, scheduled for release on December 30 2024.[2][3] The film is a sequel to the television series La Grande Maison Tokyo and its special episode La Grande Maison Tokyo Special.[4]

The catchphrase for this film is "Challenge the world."

Continuing from La Grande Maison Tokyo, the director is Ayuko Tsukahara, who is also known for her work on the TV series Unnatural.[5] The cuisine is supervised by Kei Kobayashi, chef of Restaurant KEI, which actually won three Michelin stars in Paris.[6] The film continues to star Takuya Kimura, with Kyōka Suzuki, Yuta Tamamori, Kanichiro, Ayako Yoshitani, and Anne Nakamura continuing from the previous TV series, and new cast members include South Korean actor Ok Taec-yeon as patissier and Yoshinori Masakado as apprentice.[7] Continuing from the previous TV series, the screenplay is by Tsutomu Kuroiwa and the music by Hideakira Kimura.[3]

For star Takuya Kimura, it has been almost nine years since Hero was released in 2015, the first time a TV series in which he starred was made into a movie.[8] Kimura dyed his own hair blonde for the shoot to show his respect for Chef Kobayashi.[6]
