Summary
- Netflix renews Culinary Class Wars for Season 3, shifting from individual chefs to four‑person restaurant teams
- The new format tests teamwork, leadership and consistency under high‑pressure competition
- Studio Slam’s original creative team returns, with applications opening via Netflix Korea
Netflix has officially confirmed the renewal of its hit cooking competition series, Culinary Class Wars, for a third season, introducing a significant format shift that moves away from individual rivalry.
Building on two consecutive years of global success where it consistently ranked in Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English TV list, the upcoming season will transition into a team-based showdown. This new structure features four-person teams representing a single restaurant, effectively transforming the competition into a collective battle for a kitchen’s reputation and survival. By shifting the stakes to entire establishments rather than individual chefs, the series aims to test leadership, teamwork, and consistency under high-pressure environments.
The production of Season 3 reunites the original creative team from Studio Slam, including producer Kim Eun-ji and writer Mo Eun-seol, ensuring continuity in the series’ inventive and high-stakes appeal. Producer Kim Eun-ji expressed gratitude for the global support received during Season 2, promising a format that delivers enhanced excitement and entertainment.
Aspiring competitors can begin the application process via Netflix Korea’s social channels starting tomorrow, provided they apply as a cohesive four-person unit currently working at the same restaurant. This strategic evolution follows a highly successful second season praised for its heightened tension and inventive rules, further solidifying the franchise’s standing in the culinary reality genre.
