Canadian Adaptation for 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing

Warner Bros. International Television Production has signed its first international format deal on 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing, with Quebecor Content acquiring the rights for a version for Canada.

TVA is set to deliver a 12-episode season of the culinary competition format in the spring of next year, produced by Pixcom. It was originally created by Lando Entertainment for Food Network in the U.S. in 2024 and is set to return for a third season next year.

André Renaud, WBITVP’s general VP of format and finished sales, said, “Having only brought 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing to buyers at MIPCOM this time last year, the series has gone from strength to strength, with a second hit season in the USA, and a third on the way. It’s incredible to add to that success with this first international version going to Canada with Quebecor Content, whose strong track record for format adaptation makes them the ideal home for the series. The show is gruelling and relentless but with high entertainment value, and I’m confident that the team from Pixcom will know how best to not only celebrate the great cooking talent and cuisine of Québec and Canada but also deliver a thrilling ride for viewers next year.”

“By securing the rights to this dynamic and distinctive format, Quebecor Content reaffirms its commitment to bold, high-impact productions that resonate with audiences,” added Sylvie Langlois, senior director of format acquisition and international development at Quebecor Content. “Distributed by WBITVP, the concept captures the raw intensity and fast-paced energy of a professional kitchen, delivering gripping and emotionally charged television moments. We are proud to collaborate with Pixcom, a trusted leader among culinary competition producers, to bring this major production to life.”

“We are tremendously proud to produce this wild culinary competition that pushes every limit,” added Nicola Merola and Charles Lafortunes, executive producers at Pixcom. “24 in 24: Last Chef Standing celebrates endurance, talent and creativity, while reflecting Pixcom’s bold spirit in taking on unique and spectacular formats. It is a privilege to collaborate with Quebecor Content and WBITVP to bring such an electrifying show to Quebec’s audience.
