masterchef junior season twoTo no surprise, FOX has ordered a second season of MasterChef Junior. Airing for eight episodes on Friday nights, the first season averaged a 1.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.02 million total viewers.

Here’s the network’s press release:

“MASTERCHEF JUNIOR” GOES BACK FOR SECONDS!

FOX Orders Season Two of Hit Cooking Competition Series for Kids

Season Two Open Casting Calls Begin in New York City and Chicago on January 18

FOX has renewed hit cooking competition series MASTERCHEF JUNIOR for a second season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.

“MASTERCHEF JUNIOR is one of the few shows on television that the entire family can truly enjoy together, and I can’t wait to see what Gordon, Joe, Graham and the next round of rambunctious, ridiculously talented junior chefs cook up in Season Two,” said Reilly.

MASTERCHEF JUNIOR gives talented kids between the ages of eight and 13 the chance to showcase their culinary ability and passion for food through a series of delicious challenges. Host and award-winning Chef Gordon Ramsay is joined by restaurateur and winemaker Joe Bastianich (Del Posto, Eataly) and acclaimed chef Graham Elliot (Graham Elliot Bistro) on the MASTERCHEF JUNIOR judging panel.

During its first season, MASTERCHEF JUNIOR averaged 5.1 million total viewers and ranked No. 1 in its time period among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34, Women 18-49/18-34, Men 18-49/18-34 and Teens. MASTERCHEF JUNIOR improved FOX’s performance in the time period versus last year by +58% among Adults 18-49. In addition, MASTERCHEF JUNIOR averaged a +50% lift from its Live + Same Day to its Live +7 Adults 18-49 rating – the largest percentage gain of any unscripted series on the Big 4 networks.

Most definantly. Master Chef Adult and Junior are wonderful. Good family entertainment. My family watches it religiously and we DVR it as well. One of my granddaughters wants to be a baker/chef and she is learing so much from watching the shows and its helping her prepare for her future. Keep it up Chef Gordon and FOX.
