‘It’s not a food show in the traditional sense’: René Redzepi’s decade-long vision comes to the screen

René Redzepi, founder of prized three-Michelin star restaurant Noma, has been dreaming up Omnivore for at least a decade.

None of the usual ingredients of food shows are present in this eight-part docoseries; in fact, as Omnivore’s executive producer Ben Liebmann explains to Mumbrella, the exploratory documentaries of David Attenborough were the key inspiration for this ambitious undertaking.

Libemann is the founder of Understory, a global agency, advisory and management company. He also spent seven years as chief operating officer at Noma, making him uniquely qualified to bring Redzepi’s vision to the screen.
