FOX has made it official. Earlier this month, Gordon Ramsay indicated that his Hell’s Kitchen TV show had been renewed for a 19th season. Now, the network has confirmed that the culinary competition has been renewed for two more cycles, seasons 19 and 20.
The 18th season of Hell’s Kitchen, which finished airing on February 8th, pitted veteran contestants against rookies. Eight former competitors (who’d all lost) returned to square off against eight newbies. At stake was a Head Chef position at the Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen Restaurant at Caesars Palace Las Vegas and a cash prize of $250,000.00.
Airing on Friday nights, the 18th season of Hell’s Kitchen averaged a 0.78 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.78 million viewers. Compared to season 17, that’s down by 10% in the demo and down by 11% in viewership. It’s the network’s lowest-rated unscripted series of the season but performed much better than current timeslot occupant, the new Proven Innocent drama series.
It’s unclear when season 19 of Hell’s Kitchen will air but there’s other Ramsay programming already on the schedule. Season two of Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back is currently airing on Wednesday nights.
Season seven of MasterChef Junior is scheduled to begin on March 12th and that program has already been unofficially renewed for an eighth season. The adult version of MasterChef has been renewed for a 10th season but a start date hasn’t been announced yet.

I love Hell’s kitchen is one of my favorite shows on TV can’t wait for the new season to start.

I love, and watch all of Gordon Ramsay’s shows. I hate to think that any one of them would not be renewed. I would even love to see The F Word and Kitchen Nightmares brought back, or at least have the option to watch reruns of these shows. Keep doing what you do best, Gordon, and I will always be watching!
Get yourself Roku you can watch all the reruns all the time all day long on all the shows enjoy!
