FOX Entertainment has announced the renewal of the cooking-competition series Next Level Chef for Seasons Three and Four. The show, created by BiggerStage and Studio Ramsay on behalf of Studio Ramsay Global, is hosted by Gordon Ramsay, a three-time Michelin-starred chef, and features up-and-coming talented chefs competing under extreme pressure to win a grand prize of $250,000.
The show premiered in May, with its second season drawing 16.9 million viewers and a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49. The third and fourth seasons will be filmed in Ireland. Previously, the first two seasons of the show were produced by Fox Alternative Entertainment and Studio Ramsay, with Season Two filmed in the UK.
Next Level Chef’s success in both ratings and audience engagement has been impressive, with the second season opener drawing 16.7 million total viewers and a 5.2 demo rating, making it the most-watched cooking series telecast in TV history. To date, the show has averaged 3.9 million viewers and a 0.9 rating.
The premise of the show requires chefs to exhibit creativity and skill in a culinary gauntlet set over three floors, with a different kitchen on each floor, and ingredients to match each level. Over the course of each season, Ramsay is joined by fellow mentor chefs Nyesha Arrington and Richard Blais, who help him select the best line cooks, home chefs, and social media stars.
During their journey on the show, competitors are guided by the mentor chefs to deliver standout dishes that showcase their talent, with Ramsay pushing them to cook at the next level. Applicants can apply online to participate in the show, which may help turn them into the food world’s “newest superstar.”
Gordon Ramsay commented on the show’s renewal, stating that he is “excited to continue to raise the bar” and bring the audience along for the ride. FOX Entertainment’s Unscripted Programming President, Allison Wallach, stated that the decision to renew the show for two more seasons was easy after such an outstanding second season.
In the second-season finale, the finalists were required to create three dishes in 90 minutes, with each presented on each of the three floors of the kitchen. After impressing the judges with her dishes throughout the competition, Tucker was crowned the winner of the show. She walked away with a $250,000 cash prize and a one-year mentorship.
In conclusion, Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Chef has demonstrated its ability to capture the audience’s attention and engagement with its innovative format. The decision to renew the show for two more seasons is a testament to its tremendous popularity and is a welcome announcement for fans who can look forward to more exciting episodes in Seasons Three and Four.
