FOX Goes for Gordon Ramsay’s The F Word

LOS ANGELES: FOX has ordered The F Word, from celebrity chef and host Gordon Ramsay, a live event cooking series based on the hit U.K. show of the same name.

Each hour-long episode will see foodie families from across the U.S. battle it out in an intense, high-stakes cook-off. The F Word is scheduled to premiere in 2017 on FOX and will be aired as a live event.

“Gordon Ramsay is not only one of the biggest names in the culinary world, but his expertise, combined with his larger-than-life personality, also make for genuine event television,” said David Madden, the president of entertainment at Fox Broadcasting Company. “Gordon Ramsay stands tall in the line of great FOX stars, those unpredictable originals whom you simply can’t afford to miss, and The F Word could come from no one but Gordon. Let’s face it, with Gordon live on television, the phrase ‘anything can happen’ takes on a whole new meaning.”

“We’re really ramping it up a notch with this new live cooking show each week, and I can’t wait for viewers to see the other surprises we have in store for each episode,” said Ramsay.
