Chef Gordon Ramsay is back for another season of Hell’s Kitchen on FOX. The series hasn’t been a big draw for the network in a while but it usually draws respectable ratings. Will that be enough to keep it on the air? Will Hell’s Kitchen be cancelled or renewed for season 23? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.

A culinary competition series, the Hell’s Kitchen TV show is hosted by Ramsay. The 22nd season will have 18 chef contestants, split up into two teams — blue (men) and red (women). Season ten winner Christina Wilson will return to serve as the red team sous-chef. While the seventh season runner-up, Jason Santos, will return to serve as blue team sous-chef, Marino Monferrato will return to serve as maître d’hôtel. The American Dream themed season will focus on uniquely American stories to test contestants and push them to their limits. The competition is fierce, as each team is put through rigorous culinary challenges, featuring high-stakes rewards and punishments, all with age-defying bragging rights on the line. Only those who possess the right combination of ingredients will continue in the competition until one is named the winner. At stake is a life-changing grand prize, including a Head Chef position, a cash prize of $250,000, and the coveted title of Hell’s Kitchen winner.
