HBO Max Renews Selena + Chef

HBO Max has ordered a second season of Selena Gomez’s cooking show, Selena + Chef.

The unscripted ten-episode cooking series follows the singer, actress, producer, entrepreneur and philanthropist as she navigates the unfamiliar territory of making delicious meals while being stuck at home in quarantine. The final four episodes of Selena + Chef’s first season debuted on the streamer yesterday.

Selena + Chef is executive produced by Gomez for July Moon Productions, along with executive producers Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman and Leah Hariton on behalf of Industrial Media’s The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC). In season two, Gomez will continue her cooking adventures at home with a new roster of all-star chefs that will help her whip up delicious dishes. Like in its first season, each chef will highlight a different charity each episode.

Gomez said: “Learning from some of the best chefs in the world has vastly improved my cooking skills but I have a lot more to learn. I am looking forward to challenging myself in the kitchen on the next season.”

Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max, said: “We are thrilled to continue the culinary fun of watching Selena in the kitchen on HBO Max. From her chemistry with each master chef to those colorful knives in the first season, we can’t wait to see what delicious surprises she has in store for season two.”

IPC’s Aaron Saidman added: “We couldn’t be more excited to be back in the kitchen with Selena and HBO Max for another entertaining and delightful season of this unscripted, unrehearsed and very unpredictable culinary adventure.”
