Kitchen Nightmares, one of Gordon Ramsay‘s most renowned series, is scheduled to return over a decade after it last aired.
The chef debuted the TV show in 2007, based on the three-year-old UK series of the same name.
In the US version, the 56-year-old would visit struggling eateries around the country in an attempt to assist the owners resuscitate their companies within a week.
The final episode was released in September 2014, with the lead star saying in a statement released earlier that year: ‘As filming comes to a close on the latest series of Kitchen Nightmares I’ve decided to stop making the show.’
He continued: ‘I’m currently filming four new episodes, Costa Del Nightmares, for Channel 4 which will be my last. I’ve had a phenomenal 10 years making 123 episodes, 12 seasons, shot across two continents, watched by tens of millions of people and sold to over 150 countries. It’s been a blast but it’s time to call it a day.’
The Costa del Nightmares spin-off, which marked the franchise’s final release, aired its final episode in October 2014.
However, it has just surfaced that Kitchen Nightmares is making a reappearance nine years later.
According to Deadline, Gordon, 56, is bringing Kitchen Nightmares back to Fox in the United States, with the next season being produced by his TV production business Studio Ramsay.
Kitchen Nightmares aired 92 episodes over seven seasons in the United States.
Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, on the other hand, aired for five seasons between 2004 and 2007, followed by one episode of Ramsay’s Great British Nightmare and four episodes of Ramsay’s Costa del Nightmares.
Gordon’s other successful series include Hell’s Kitchen, The F Word, Gordon’s Great Escape, and his appearance as a judge on MasterChef Junior in the United States.
He returned Future Food Stars for a second season earlier this year, with hopefuls competing for a chance to earn his £150,000 investment.
Gordon said of the new season, ‘Viewers can expect more beautiful locations from across the UK, really interesting special guests who appear on the show to test my contenders, as well as more really tough challenges where the contenders have to push extremely hard to impress me with their skills and ideas.’
In March, the restaurateur was claimed to be ‘gutted’ after his cooking show Next Level Chef was cancelled after only one season.
Kitchen Nightmares is available to stream on demand on Channel 4 in the UK.
