Hit Fox TV Show Renewed for 2 More Seasons
------------------------------------------
Gordon Ramsay's long-running reality competition show MasterChef
has officially been renewed for two more seasons at Fox. This
renewal comes after over fifteen years since the hit cooking
show made its debut.

Season 15 recently concluded its 18-episode run, where long-time
couple Jessica Bosworth and Jesse Rosenwald became the show's
first duo winners. The latest installment also featured a new
judge in the form of celebrity chef Tiffany Derry, who is
expected to return for the next two seasons, along with Ramsay
and restaurateur Joe Bastianich.

What did Fox say about the MasterChef renewal?
"MasterChef remains a standout series for Fox, drawing its
dedicated fanbase back season after season to witness amateur
cooks transform into culinary masters," Fox Entertainment
executive Yasmin Rawji said in a statement. "Gordon Ramsay, Joe
Bastianich and Tiffany Derry provide culinary expertise,
mentorship and heart, and we can't wait to see what they, as well
as our partners at Endemol Shine North America, have in store for
Seasons 16 and 17 of MasterChef."

Endemol Shine North America's Michael Heyerman added, "Securing a
two-season pickup for Seasons 16 and 17 is huge news and a
testament to the unstoppable momentum of MasterChef. A massive
thank you to Fox for always opening doors and inspiring new
creative ideas to keep the series fun and fresh. We have cooked
up two absolutely great themes for the new season that fans are
going to love. We're thrilled to be back in the kitchen with
Gordon, Joe, and Tiffany, building on the incredible chemistry and
high standards they set last season."

MasterChef is executive-produced by Ramsay through his One Potato
Two Potato production banner. It was based on the original British
show created by Franc Roddam during the early 1990s. Due to the
competition series' success, it has been adapted in multiple
countries. Throughout the years, it has also spawned different
spin-offs such as Junior MasterChef and Celebrity MasterChef.
