Here’s the Lowdown: Next Level Chef features chefs battling it out in a unique three-story kitchen setup. The show, produced by BiggerStage and Studio Ramsay, and executive produced by Gordon Ramsay and Matt Cahoon, has been a hit for Fox since its 2022 debut.
What This Means Now: Fans of the show can relax, knowing there’s plenty more Next Level Chef on the way. The addition of Next Level Baker expands the franchise, bringing the show’s format to the world of holiday baking.
The Bigger Picture: Fox’s decision to renew Next Level Chef for two more seasons, and to create a spin-off, highlights the show’s popularity and its value as a franchise. The four-episode Next Level Baker series looks to broaden the concept and capitalize on seasonal viewing trends.
