Much like last year, fans shouldn’t go into the sixth season of the MasterChef Junior TV show, worrying whether it will be cancelled or renewed for season seven. Although FOX has yet to make an official renewal announcement, they began casting the next cycle, back in December of 2017. Even so, ratings (and cost) remain an important factor in cancellation and renewal decisions, so stay tuned. **Status update below.
A competitive reality TV series, MasterChef Junior features home cooks between the ages of eight and 13 years, vying for the title, trophy, and a large cash prize. Gordon Ramsay and Christina Tosi once again serve as judges and mentors. Joe Bastianich, who was a judge-mentor alongside Ramsay and Graham Elliot in the first three seasons on FOX, has returned to the role, as well.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/19 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The fifth season of MasterChef Junior on FOX averaged a 1.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.597 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the MasterChef Junior TV series? Should FOX have cancelled or renewed it for season seven and season eight?
**12/3/2018 Status Update: MasterChef Junior has been renewed through season eight on FOX. Details here.
It looks like this show has been renewed for season 8 before season 7 even airs. Casting for season 8 has already began!!!

Thanks!
I love Master chef Junior. so far my favorate is Addison from season 4. she is a spit image of my granddaughter. I love her personallity and her spunk. I hope this show continues on. with all the negativity in the world its nice to see something positive. These kids are roll models for this generation. keep it up kids. Kudos… BTW . I know Gordon is awesome but I really love Joe….ll
I thought Beni was a little boy. That was a girl??!! The only reason she won is because she’s gay and it would have looked bad. Terrible hair cut.
she was good i kinda was hoping for avery.
Master Chef Jr. is the best, even better than the adult version. amazing what these kids can do, without a cookbook in front of them. I vote to keep this show on next year and the next.
I love Master chef junior I want to keep cooking for next season 7 of the masterchef junior because teenagers can too and so is the kids of eight through twelve thirteen and it doesn’t matter their still my favorite and funny
I love Masterchef but no longer watch all of the cooking shows that have kids (chopped jr., etc..) I thing these kids are too young to be putting them through this kind of heartache & stresses…they will have enough of that when they are adults.
No their not having heart attack and I don’t have a problem with that.
