FOX has renewed MasterChef for both Seasons 16 and 17, extending the long-running culinary competition series. The announcement confirms that Gordon Ramsay will once again return as host and judge, joined by restaurateur Joe Bastianich and chef Tiffany Derry.

The renewal follows another strong summer for the series, which ranked as the number one cooking show among adults 18-49 and FOX’s most-watched unscripted series of 2025, averaging 3.5 million multiplatform viewers. A fresh lineup of home cooks will compete for the $250,000 prize, the MasterChef trophy, and the title of America’s next MasterChef.

Yasmin Rawji, Executive Vice President Unscripted, Fox Entertainment, said:

“MasterChef remains a standout series for FOX, drawing its dedicated fanbase back season after season to witness amateur cooks transform into culinary masters. Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Tiffany Derry provide culinary expertise, mentorship and heart and we can’t wait to see what they, as well as our partners at Endemol Shine North America, have in store for Seasons 16 and 17 of MasterChef.”

Michael Heyerman, SVP Unscripted Original Series, Endemol Shine North America & Executive Producer, said:

“Securing a two-season pickup for Seasons 16 and 17 is huge news and a testament to the unstoppable momentum of MasterChef. A massive thank you to FOX for always opening doors and inspiring new creative ideas to keep the series fun and fresh. We have cooked up two absolutely great themes for the new season that fans are going to love.”

MasterChef will return on FOX with Season 16, followed by Season 17, with premiere dates to be announced.
