The report notes that Ramsay, along with fellow judges Aarón Sánchez and Joe Bastianich, are all set to return for the new season of the hit series, which is produced by Endemol Shine North America, and One Potato Two Potato.
“Obviously, Gordon is a good friend and, given the recent launch of Studio Ramsay Global, an important part of Fox’s programming and growth strategy,” said Rob Wade, President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials, Fox Entertainment. “Masterchef, Gordon, Aarón and Joe, and our fantastic partners at ESNA, have been vital to Fox’s DNA. Even in its eleventh season, this show continues to impress by sustaining Fox’s success on Wednesdays this Summer. We anticipate this momentum to continue next year when Masterchef returns for a much deserved Season 12.”

For those unfamiliar with MasterChef, the series follows a handful of amateur chefs as they compete in a variety of challenges and tests to prove who the best of the bunch is. The winner of each season receives $250,000, a MasterChef trophy, and the title of MasterChef, although past seasons have also included prizes such as a cookbook deal and other rewards.
