FremantleMedia International is on board to distribute a fresh season of Jamie’s Quick & Easy Food, as well as the new series Jamie Cooks Italy.

The new season of Jamie’s Quick & Easy Food, produced by Jamie Oliver Productions, has already been sold into more than 120 territories across the globe. It will air in the U.K. on Channel 4 and will see the titular chef whip up tasty dishes that only contain five ingredients.

The brand-new series Jamie Cooks Italy has been commissioned by Channel 4. The show sees the chef and mentor Gennaro Contaldo travel Italy to learn the country’s best-kept secrets from home cooks.

Angela Neillis, the director of non-scripted at FremantleMedia International, said, “With its beautiful production values and effortless format, Jamie Oliver is again in top form in his new series of Jamie’s Quick & Easy. We always think creatively about how we distribute at FremantleMedia International, so we were excited to be able to support the show again, and bring brand-new episodes to our international broadcasters this spring.”

Zoe Collins, the chief content officer of The Jamie Oliver Group, added, “Jamie’s Quick & Easy Food is a super-simple concept, executed with extremely high production values to deliver a program that has connected and continues to connect with a U.K. and global audience. Our social media accounts, from all corners of the globe, tell us daily that Quick & Easy is encouraging people to get back into the kitchen with these delicious and very easy dishes. I am delighted we are going to be able to showcase even more recipes in the new series.”
