MasterChef Season 15 Given the Green Light by FOX
FOX has renewed its powerhouse cooking competition series MasterChef for a 15th season with an all-new theme, MasterChef: Dynamic Duos. The new season will premiere this summer on FOX and will stream on Hulu.
Award-winning chef and executive producer Gordon Ramsay will return as a host and judge alongside renowned restaurateur Joe Bastianich and new judge, James Beard Award-nominee Tiffany Derry (Top Chef, Bobby’s Triple Threat, Great American Recipe), who will bring her no-nonsense point of view to the table.
“Season after season, Gordon Ramsay and his team deliver limitless creativity and always raise the competitive bar, keeping MasterChef among the top cooking shows on television, as we saw again with its impressive performance last summer,” said Michael Thorn, President, FOX Television Network.
“The long-standing, collaborative partnership we enjoy with Gordon, Joe and the Endemol Shine North America team continues to bring compelling, differentiated experiences to our audience – a winning recipe we know will get even better by welcoming Tiffany’s fresh, expert perspective to the mix.”
“I’m beyond excited to join MasterChef as a judge for Season 15, which is unlike any other. For me, cooking has always been about passion, precision, and heart, and I can’t wait to bring my perspective to the table alongside Gordon and Joe,” said Derry.
“The season challenges home cook duos in a whole new way, and it was so fun to see them rise to the occasion. Get ready for some incredible food, tough love, and maybe even a little spice!”
This season, for the first time in MasterChef history, pairs of home cooks will participate together in hopes of becoming America’s next MasterChefs. From married and dating couples to mothers and daughters, siblings, best friends, and even divorcees, relationships are tested in some of the toughest challenges to date.
Plus, to make things even more difficult, the dreaded Pressure Test makes an intimidating return. In the end, only one Dynamic Duo will be awarded the grand prize of $250,000, the MasterChef trophy, and the title of MasterChef!
Based on a format created by Franc Roddam, FOX‘s MasterChef is produced by Endemol Shine North America and One Potato Two Potato and executive produced by Danny Schrader, Gordon Ramsay, and Jennifer Fazey.
Sharon Levy and Michael Heyerman are executive producers for Endemol Shine North America. Additional executive producers include Elisabeth Murdoch, Ben Adler, and Pat Llewylln.
