FOX is whisking up a third season of the baking mystery competition Crime Scene Kitchen, it was announced today by Allison Wallach, President, Unscripted Programming, of FOX Entertainment.
Season three of the popular FOX food franchise will premiere during the upcoming 2024-25 season, with Joel McHale returning as host and executive producer and chef Curtis Stone and cake artist Yolanda Gampp returning as celebrity judges.
In the culinary guessing game, bakers must decode and decipher what type of dessert was made with only crumbs, food trails, and humorous hints as clues, and then teams must recreate the tasty treat, attempting to capture its original form and flavor best in order to win a $100,000 grand prize.
Regarding the renewal, Wallach said, “Crime Scene Kitchen is a fun, fresh show with an entirely original mix of culinary sleuthing and brilliant baking that the whole family can enjoy. Joel, Curtis, and Yolanda’s irresistible chemistry have made Crime Scene Kitchen a clear fan favorite, and we’re excited to bring a new season to the table.”
