Fox Renews NEXT LEVEL CHEF, Orders NEXT LEVEL BAKER

Fox is expanding the NEXT LEVEL franchise.

The network has ordered season 5 and 6 of NEXT LEVEL CHEF, plus ordered franchise extension NEXT LEVEL BAKER.

“NEXT LEVEL CHEF consistently raises the bar of culinary excellence as a high stakes food competition fans love, an invaluable franchise for FOX and an increasingly popular global format,” said Michael Thorn, President, FOX Television Network, in a statement. “Extending the reach of this series with the new holiday competition NEXT LEVEL BAKER once again exemplifies the strength of our incredible, long-standing collaborative partnership with Gordon [Ramsay], which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.”

“I’m delighted that NEXT LEVEL BAKER is coming to FOX later this year,” added Ramsay. “A holiday special, where passionate home cooks, more used to crafting treats for their family, will compete against social media creators; individuals who fill our feeds with photo ready creations, side by side with talented professional pastry chefs, impressing with Michelin starred perfection. My very first job was baking in Paris, and to me there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread. I’m hoping on these holiday specials we get to discover incredible family recipes handed down through generations of bakers, inventive bakers cleverly working with dietary sensitivities and those with a talent for stunning creativity and elevated design work. This holiday season I cannot wait to discover the baking heart of America.”

According to Fox, NEXT LEVEL BAKER “will test the skills of bakers as they are challenged to create eye-popping, festive holiday delights across the franchise’s three iconic levels. During the new series’ four special hours, only one baker will rise to the top and claim the holiday baking crown.”

Ramsay and Matt Cahoon serve as executive producers on NEXT LEVEL CHEF.
