FOX updates its summer schedule with new premiere dates and time periods for HELL’S KITCHEN and MASTERCHEF.

FOX summer will be hotter than ever when HELL’S KITCHEN and MASTERCHEF debut with a two-night season premiere event on Monday, June 4 and Tuesday, June 5. HELL’S KITCHEN starts cooking Mondays at 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT beginning June 4, followed by the season premiere serving of MASTERCHEF (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

In Season Ten of HELL’S KITCHEN, aspiring restaurateurs once again will be put through an intense culinary academy to prove they possess the right combination of ingredients to win the life-changing grand prize. In Season Three of MASTERCHEF, Chef Gordon Ramsay is joined by restaurateur Joe Bastianich and acclaimed chef Graham Elliot at the judging panel as they search for America’s best home cook and challenge a new batch of hopefuls by testing their palates, food knowledge and determination to make a mark in the culinary world.

As previously announced, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE kicks off with a two-hour premiere Thursday, May 24 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). The following week, on Wednesday, May 30 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), the Emmy-nominated hit dance competition series moves into its regular time period.
