Fox is plating two more seasons of MasterChef, keeping Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen gauntlet sizzling more than 15 years after its debut. The renewal follows a Season 15 finale that crowned longtime couple Jessica Bosworth and Jesse Rosenwald as the show’s first duo winners.

MasterChef is not going anywhere. Fox just ordered two more seasons of Gordon Ramsay's long-running cooking gauntlet, which is kind of wild when you remember the show has been on for over 15 years and is still pulling in devoted fans.

Season 15 just wrapped its 18-episode run with a first for the franchise: longtime couple Jessica Bosworth and Jesse Rosenwald won together. A duo win on this show is unusual, and honestly, a fun twist for a format that loves its shake-ups.

Who is back in the kitchen

The judging panel that clicked last season is sticking around. Tiffany Derry joined the show in Season 15 and is expected to return for the next two seasons alongside Ramsay and restaurateur Joe Bastianich. If you watched last season, you know the chemistry worked, and Fox seems very aware of that.

"MasterChef remains a standout series for Fox, drawing its dedicated fanbase back season after season to witness amateur cooks transform into culinary masters."

That was Fox Entertainment executive Yasmin Rawji setting the tone, also shouting out the team at Endemol Shine North America. Translation: the show's still a reliable performer, and they want more of exactly what worked last year.

Endemol Shine North America's Michael Heyerman called the two-season pickup a big win, credited Fox for backing fresh ideas, and teased that they have two strong themes lined up for the new season. He also said they are happy to be back with Gordon, Joe, and Tiffany, building on the standards they set in Season 15. No specifics on those themes yet, but the tease is noted.

Quick background

Ramsay executive-produces MasterChef through his One Potato Two Potato banner. The format comes from the original British series created by Franc Roddam in the early 1990s, and it has been replicated all over the world. Along the way, it has spun off into Junior MasterChef and Celebrity MasterChef in various territories, because once a format hits, it multiplies.
