A new season of culinary clashes: ‘Culinary Class Wars’ returns on Netflix
Culinary reality sequel is back for more dramatic taste tests
Netflix has announced the renewal of its popular Korean reality show “Culinary Class Wars” for a second season. The announcement follows the show’s meteoric rise on the streaming platform, having captivated audiences with its unique blend of high-stakes cooking and competitive drama.
What to expect in season two
In the second season, viewers can anticipate even fiercer rivalries and more intricate culinary battles. The format, which showcases 100 esteemed chefs and emerging culinary talents, will once again put their skills to the test in a dynamic contest that mirrors a sports event in its intensity and scale.
Judging the culinary creations will be two luminaries of the food world: Paik Jong-won, a revered restaurateur, and Anh Sung-jae, the chef from Mosu Seoul, the nation’s only Michelin three-star restaurant. These experts will bring their profound culinary insight to the table, ensuring that only the most exceptional dishes receive acclaim.
Behind the scenes
Kim Hak-min and Kim Eun-ji, alongside writer Mo Eun-sol, are set to return, continuing their collaboration with Studio Slam to deliver another season of gastronomic excitement. Their efforts have been crucial in creating a show that not only entertains but also elevates the art of cooking to a thrilling competitive sport.
A global success story
“Culinary Class Wars” burst onto the scene just a month ago and swiftly garnered a huge audience both in Korea and internationally. Remarkably, it became the first Korean unscripted title to top Netflix’s Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) list for three consecutive weeks, highlighting its widespread appeal.
The streaming giant described the show as an exhilarating experience, crediting its success to the “fierce rivalry among passionate chefs, combined with the show’s grand scale and unpredictable twists.” With the second season, Netflix promises to ramp up the excitement, turning the kitchen into a battlefield of unprecedented culinary prowess.
Expanding the unscripted horizon
Netflix Korea’s director of content emphasized the significant effort required to produce shows of this magnitude, expressing pride in the accomplishments of the dedicated production team. The company’s commitment to expanding its unscripted offerings is evident in the announcement that a new Korean unscripted series will debut every month from August through the first quarter of 2025.
Successful predecessors
Netflix has previously seen great success with other Korean unscripted shows like “Single’s Inferno,” which has been renewed for a fourth season, and the widely popular “Physical 100,” which also secured a second season. These shows, much like “Culinary Class Wars,” have resonated strongly with both local and international audiences, underscoring the growing global appetite for Korean content.
New scripted content on the horizon
In addition to expanding its unscripted slate, Netflix has bolstered its scripted content with upcoming releases such as the romantic comedy series “Mr. Plankton.” Slated for release on November 8, the series stars Woo Do-hwan and Lee You-mi. The storyline revolves around a man born from a mistake and the unluckiest woman in the world who unintentionally accompanies him on the last journey of his life. This fresh narrative promises to deliver a heartwarming yet whimsical tale that is bound to capture viewers’ hearts.
