FOX DISHES UP MORE FIERY SEASONS OF "HELL'S KITCHEN," RENEWING GORDON RAMSAY'S HIT CULINARY COMPETITION SERIES FOR SEASONS 23 AND 24
FOX has ordered two additional seasons of Gordon Ramsay's legendary hit cooking competition series Hell's Kitchen, renewing the show for its 23rd and 24th seasons, it was announced today by Allison Wallach, President, Unscripted Programming, of FOX Entertainment.
In the iconic decades-spanning series - and television's longest-running food competition, reaching more than 350 episodes with today's renewal - aspiring chefs from across the restaurant industry are put through an intense culinary academy to prove to Chef Ramsay they have the talent and tenacity to come out on top each week. Only those who can take the searing heat of Hell's Kitchen will continue to compete each week, until one prevails as the winner. At stake is a life-changing grand prize, including claiming a chef position at one of Ramsay's own renowned restaurants across the country, and the title of Hell's Kitchen winner.
"As my very first show on FOX, Hell's Kitchen holds a very special place in my heart and it's incredibly gratifying to have it renewed for its 23rd and 24th seasons," said Ramsay. "This show just keeps getting better and better, and with FOX, ITV and A. Smith & Co. as my partners, you can expect even bigger challenges, stronger talent and more intense competition in Hell's Kitchen in the years to come."
"Ever since Gordon Ramsay and Hell's Kitchen premiered on FOX nearly two decades ago, they have been mainstays of American television," said Wallach. "Hell's Kitchen was our first series with Gordon, marking the launch of one of FOX's most successful creative partnerships ever and an important cornerstone in what has become global television's most powerful cooking brand."
Hell's Kitchen first premiered on FOX on May 30, 2005. Its Season 22 premiere last September delivered Hell's Kitchen's most-streamed season debut ever, propelling it to rank as Fall 2023's #1 cooking show among Adults 18-49 and Total Viewers.
The 23rd and 24th seasons of Hell's Kitchen will be produced at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, where one of Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen restaurants is located.
Hell's Kitchen is produced by ITV America's ITV Entertainment in association with A. Smith & Co. Productions.
