Fox has renewed its hit cooking reality series MasterChef for a 15th season.
Award-winning chef and executive producer Gordon Ramsay will return to host and judge alongside Joe Bastianich and new judge, James Beard Award-nominee Tiffany Derry (Top Chef, Bobby’s Triple Threat). MasterChef: Dynamic Duos will premiere this summer on Fox, streaming the next day via Hulu.
“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,” Derry shared. “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!”
Last summer, MasterChef was Fox’s most-watched Summer 2024 show in multiplatform viewing, delivering 4.3 million total viewers (P2+, L+35 through 8/25/24 and non-linear through 9/1/24) and ranked as summer’s #1 cooking series among Adults 18-49 and total viewers in Live +7 viewing, according to the network.

This season and for the first time, the show will pair home cooks participating in hopes of becoming America’s next MasterChefs. From married and dating couples to mothers and daughters, siblings, best friends and divorcees – relationships are tested in some of the toughest challenges to date. Additionally, the Pressure Test will return. In the end, only one duo will be awarded the grand prize of $250,000, the trophy and the title of MasterChefs.
