There were 43 productions across 30 markets last year alone, despite filming restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>The award-winning cookery show created by Franc Roddam first aired in 1990 on the BBC in the U.K. and ran for 11 years. In 2005, Roddam and Shine TV reconceived the format.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas Green, global head of content operations at Banijay, said: \u201cReaching this milestone is a fantastic achievement for the <em>MasterChef<\/em> family. Whilst staying true to the core values of the format, each version is unique, adapting to celebrate the individual cultures and craft of their region. The amazing teams on all 500 productions have created life-changing opportunities for our contestants and delivered world-class entertainment and iconic moments for millions of viewers around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roddam said: \u201cI am immensely proud of <em>MasterChef<\/em>, which has entertained millions and transformed the lives of thousands. I am so grateful to all those who have contributed to its global success and helped maintain its popularity and freshness over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The versatile format continues to evolve, with iterations including <em>MasterChef Junior<\/em>, <em>MasterChef Professionals<\/em>, <em>MasterChef All Stars<\/em>, <em>Celebrity MasterChef<\/em> and <em>MasterChef Senior<\/em>. Its market reach is also continually expanding, with the most recent expansion including a four-version commission in India spanning Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.<\/p>\n<p><em>MasterChef<\/em> productions are evolving as well, as they focus more on sustainability by donating leftover food to charity. In season 12 of <em>MasterChef Australia<\/em>, a total of 95 percent food waste was saved, as well as over 39,000 pieces of paper. The most recent version in Germany built its set entirely from recycled and\/or environmentally friendly materials, saving at least 3.7 metric tons (8,157 pounds) of plastic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the commission of MasterChef Tamil, Banijay\u2019s MasterChef format has now exceeded 500 seasons worldwide since its reboot in 2005.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":8432,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[759,1193],"class_list":["post-8431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-banijay","tag-masterchef","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MasterChef Surpasses 500 Seasons Worldwide - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/masterchef-surpasses-500-seasons-worldwide\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"MasterChef Surpasses 500 Seasons Worldwide - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Following the commission of MasterChef Tamil, Banijay\u2019s MasterChef format has now exceeded 500 seasons worldwide since its reboot in 2005.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/masterchef-surpasses-500-seasons-worldwide\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-09-07T13:00:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-09-07T13:15:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/07\/MasterChefTamil-0821.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"834\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"443\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/masterchef-surpasses-500-seasons-worldwide\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/masterchef-surpasses-500-seasons-worldwide\/\",\"name\":\"MasterChef Surpasses 500 Seasons Worldwide - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-09-07T13:00:11+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-09-07T13:15:03+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/masterchef-surpasses-500-seasons-worldwide\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/masterchef-surpasses-500-seasons-worldwide\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/masterchef-surpasses-500-seasons-worldwide\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"MasterChef Surpasses 500 Seasons Worldwide\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
