Next Level Chef

Season 6announced, no date yet
Weekly, last aired Thu, 21 May 2026
Is it for me?
Cooking-contest regulars who like it loud and quick will find the usual Ramsay pressure here, with a twist in the scramble. The platform's red lights flash as it lowers, turn green, and every cook sprints for the same few items. Then a surprise ingredient lands mid-round and has to go in the dish before time runs out.
Before you start
Each season opens with cooks working in teams under their mentor and switches to solo rounds once enough have gone home.
5 seasons, 72 episodes, 60 min each, about 73 hours so far
