Food Network has renewed “24 in 24: Last Chef Standing” for Season 2 ahead of the new primetime competition’s first season finale.

Hosted by Esther Choi and Michael Symon, “24 in 24: Last Chef Standing” follows 24 talented and fearless chefs who take on 24 food challenges in 24 consecutive, non-stop hours, per Food Network’s description for the series. The winner will be revealed on Sunday’s Season 1 finale episode, when, at the end of the 24 hours, the final competitor remaining is named the last chef standing.

Since “24 in 24: Last Chef Standing” debuted on April 14, Food Network says the show has reached an audience of more than 10 million across the linear cable channel and viewership on Max and Discovery+, both streaming platforms owned by Food Network parent Warner Bros. Discovery.

Per Nielsen’s Live + 3 Day ratings, the new culinary competition show has averaged a 0.58 rating among adults ages 25-54 and a 0.59 for women in that demographic and ranks in the Top 3 non-news/sports cable shows during Sunday primetime.

“24 in 24: Last Chef Standing” is produced by Lando Entertainment for Food Network.

“’24 in 24: Last Chef Standing’ enthralled audiences as Food Network’s most ambitious and grueling culinary competition, one that is part culinary marathon and part social experiment,” head of food content at Warner Bros. Discovery Betsy Ayala said. “Michael Symon and Esther Choi were a dynamic duo leading this intense competition that demanded the chefs push their skills, creativity, and stamina to the limit.”
