The network plans to premiere the second season of Ramsay’s “Next Level Chef” right after Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023.In announcing the time slot, Fox Entertainment chairman Charlie Collier called it “the most powerful launch pad in entertainment.”Last year, NBC became the first network in decades to not schedule a series program behind the big game, instead opting to return to its coverage of the 2022 Winter Olympics.When Fox previously aired the Super Bowl, in 2020, the network ran the Season 2 premiere of “The Masked Singer.” Other recent Super Bowl lead-out programs for Fox have included the premiere of “24: Legacy” (2017), the episode of “New Girl” featuring Prince (2014) and an episode of “Glee” (2011). “We looked very closely at the Super Bowl and also NFC championship and how they’re useful as launching pads and awareness,” said Fox EVP, Program Planning & Content Strategy Dan Harrison. “Putting an alternative show there and not using a new show is the most productive way to use that platform and grow a young asset.”“Next Level Chef” was the first series to come out of Studio Ramsay Global, the recently launched production venture formed by Gordon Ramsay and Fox Entertainment.

Premiering in January 2022, “Next Level Chef” was the top-rated season debut in adults 18-49, the network said, and is also the No.
