Game of Chefs features three world-renowned chefs as mentors for their assigned teams of culinary contestants. Throughout blind auditions, they sample dishes from amateur and professional cooking talent alike. Following a preliminary boot-camp stage, finalists advance to assembled teams, led by the chefs, which go head-to-head in weekly culinary challenges.
Game of Chefs was a ratings hit when it debuted in Israel in January, averaging a solid 45.8 percent audience share throughout its first season. Reshet has ordered a second season of the show, and a U.K. version is currently in development.
ITV Studios Global Entertainment is handling world sales of the format at MIPTV.
