You can be forgiven if you think that the Fox Network should be renamed the Gordon Ramsay Network. It feels like the chef and restaurateur is everywhere as of late, with Next Level Chef currently bringing in amazing ratings and MasterChef Junior on deck for March.
However, there is nothing quite like the announcement of a new season of Hell’s Kitchen. The series has become a key part of Fox’s programming and is regularly one of the highest rated cooking series on television.
And it’s easy to understand why. Hell’s Kitchen puts the chef at the forefront without having to censor himself or share the spotlight with other judges. It’s Gordon Ramsay at his outrageous best and his fans can never seem to get enough.
Well, then the recent news is no doubt giving those aforementioned fans a reason to celebrate. Because not only has Hell’s Kitchen been officially renewed by Fox for Season 21 but we are also getting a Season 22 as well.
Hell’s Kitchen Season 21 should arrive sometime this summer.
It’s being reported by Variety that Fox has renewed the iconic series for two more seasons. And that unlike many series, the ratings for Hell’s Kitchen have continued to grow, especially in the streaming category.
Rob Wade, president of alternative entertainment and specials for Fox, says the network realizes just how important the series is for them.
"“Hell’s Kitchen is a flagship series for us, and has been a fan-favorite since it first premiered. In fact, it’s the show that first brought Gordon Ramsay to Fox, essentially serving as the launchpad for our long-standing relationship with him.”"
Although details are few, we know that Ramsay and the producers were already looking for chefs to appear on Season 21 so if the series follows pattern we should see Hell’s Kitchen back on our televisions sometime this summer.
Ramsay’s various other shows are entertaining, but there is something special about whenever he returns to Hell’s Kitchen to make the lives of a new group of chefs a living hell.
