Gordon Ramsay and FOX Entertainment have come together to form Studio Ramsay Global, a new co-owned production venture that will develop, produce and distribute culinary and lifestyle programming.

The production entity will produce for FOX, the Tubi AVOD streaming service and platforms worldwide. Studio Ramsay Global will acquire 100 percent of Ramsay’s current television business, Studio Ramsay, with FOX funding the purchase.

With offices in both London and Los Angeles, the new company will own and serve as the exclusive production home for all new series featuring and/or produced by Ramsay.

FOX Entertainment’s in-house unscripted studio, FOX Alternative Entertainment, will oversee the production of all new programs produced by Studio Ramsay Global, including the upcoming cooking competition Next Level Chef. Ramsay’s existing series include FOX’s MasterChef, MasterChef Junior and Hell’s Kitchen. Content for other platforms both internationally and in the U.S. will continue to be produced by their respective production companies.

Studio Ramsay Chief Creative Officer Lisa Edwards will be broadening her responsibilities with the newly formed company. Studio Ramsay Global’s inaugural board of directors will be comprised of Ramsay; Charlie Collier, CEO of FOX Entertainment; and Rob Wade, FOX Entertainment’s president of alternative entertainment and specials.

Ramsay commented: “This is an incredibly exciting opportunity, not just for me, but for the team at Studio Ramsay. We’ll be creating food and lifestyle ideas, but also developing an incredible new talent pool of food, drink and industry leaders to create our own culinary talent branch. I couldn’t be more excited about this new global partnership with FOX. After 16 incredible years working together, this takes Studio Ramsay to the next level!”

“Gordon Ramsay is the definition of partner and friend. He’s also the genius behind a global brand that represents integrity and excellence in food, lifestyle and so much more,” added Collier. “FOX Entertainment is honored to build upon its long-term relationship with Gordon as, together, we introduce Studio Ramsay Global. Gordon has been an important part of the FOX experience for years, bringing an energy, entrepreneurial spirit and attitude that fits beautifully at FOX. Though you never left, Gordon, welcome back you (brilliant) donut!”
