All 7 Gordon Ramsay Shows on the Air This Year

Gordon Ramsay is returning to FOX with two new prime-time shows in September 2023, including the eighth season of Kitchen Nightmares after a 9-year hiatus.
Kitchen Nightmares follows Ramsay as he helps failing restaurants get back on track, often confronting the harsh realities of running a successful restaurant.
Ramsay’s direct and sometimes blunt approach may not be well-received by everyone, but it’s what viewers have come to expect and want to see from him on shows like Hell’s Kitchen and MasterChef.

Kitchen Nightmares and Hell’s Kitchen both air in late September 2023. The ubiquitous Gordon Ramsay is back again with 2 more prime-time shows on FOX. Kitchen Nightmares returns for season 8 on Monday 25th September after a 9-year absence. Season 22 of Hell’s Kitchen: The American Dream premieres Thursday, September 28. Ramsay has long been a favorite with the FOX network over the years with shows such as MasterChef and MasterChef Jr., Hell’s Kitchen, and Next Level Chef, which was recently renewed for seasons three and four.
Kitchen Nightmares originally ran from 2007 and 2014 and was a huge hit for both Fox and Ramsay. However, after 7 seasons and 90 episodes, the show was canceled. At the time, Ramsay got a lot of flak from his tough love he often dished out to the restaurant staff. Most of the failing restaurants he tried to help, still ended up going out of business. But in an interview he did with Entertainment Weekly in 2018 he explained why it was time to move on. “I canceled my show on Fox, Kitchen Nightmares. I woke up in the middle of the south of France after filming a week with a British guy I wouldn’t trust to run my bath, let alone my restaurant. Because he was running a ski resort, he felt like he could take advantage of all those customers because there was nowhere else to eat. He was giving me s–t for telling him the truth and I thought, “I’m done.”

Gordon Ramsay is one of the most famous and successful restaurateurs in the world. As of January 2023, he owned 58 restaurants in the UK, US, France, Dubai, Singapore and beyond. He’s been awarded 17 Michelin stars and currently holds seven. But what makes this Scottish celebrity chef so popular is his TV cooking shows. Some say his language on Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef, or Next Level Chef is too blunt, too direct, and just plain rude. This is the mantra Gordon Ramsay lives by. He is what he is, love him or hate him. Equally, this is what the viewers have come to expect and want to see from him. As is evident on the multiple TV shows he fronts in 2023.

The format sees Ramsay invited by the owners of failing restaurants across America to spend a week to help them revive their businesses and get them back on track. Each episode follows Ramsay as he attempts to rebuild a restaurant in crisis. He exposes the hard realities of running a successful restaurant, often to the displeasure of the kitchen crew and management. He will identify the main problems, try to resolve them and help give the restaurant a renovation within three days. Often these restaurants need a major overhaul, in both front of the house and back of the house. If they are unwilling to take Gordon Ramsay’s direct approach to fix the problem, it might be the last orders for the restaurant before too long.
