MasterChef Singapore & MasterChef U.S. Renewed

Banijay Rights, Mediacorp and Motion Content Group have confirmed a third season of MasterChef Singapore, while FOX has ordered a twelfth season of the American MasterChef.

The U.S. version of MasterChef, produced by Endemol Shine North America and One Potato Two Potato, will be returning to FOX for a new season with chef Gordon Ramsay, chef Aarón Sánchez and restaurateur Joe Bastianich as the judges.

Rob Wade, president of alternative entertainment and specials at FOX Entertainment, said: “Obviously, Gordon is a good friend and, given the recent launch of Studio Ramsay Global, an important part of FOX’s programming and growth strategy. MasterChef, Gordon, Aarón and Joe and our fantastic partners at Endemol Shine North America, have been vital to FOX’s DNA. Even in its eleventh season, this show continues to impress by sustaining FOX’s success on Wednesdays this summer. We anticipate this momentum to continue next year when MasterChef returns for a much-deserved season twelve.”

Until the premiere of the 12th season, fans can watch MasterChef: Legends on FOX, which is currently airing on Wednesday nights.
