‘MasterChef’ Renewed for Season 15 at Fox With Tiffany Derry Joining Judges Panel

The popular cooking show “MasterChef” will be returning for its 15th season on Fox. Moreover, former contestant from “Top Chef,” Tiffany Derry, has been announced as a new judge for this upcoming season.

For Season 15, the central idea is “Twin Stars.” Teams made up of home cooks, such as couples, relatives, friends, and even ex-spouses, will team up to compete, all aiming for the $250,000 grand prize. Additionally, this season brings back the challenge known as the Pressure Test.

Derry, slated to judge alongside Joe Bastianich and Gordon Ramsay, previously competed on Season 7 of Bravo’s “Top Chef.” She placed fifth overall but was adored by viewers, earning the title of ‘Fan Favorite.’ Since then, she has graced various cooking shows such as “Chopped,” “Bar Rescue,” “Cutthroat Kitchen,” “Worst Cooks in America,” “Bobby’s Triple Threat” and “Great American Recipe.” In 2022, she was nominated for the James Beard Awards in two categories: Best Southwestern Chef and Best New Restaurant for Roots Southern Table in Dallas.

I fondly admire the TV show “MasterChef,” a concept originally conceived by Franc Roddam. This captivating series is meticulously brought to life by the combined efforts of Endemol Shine North America and One Potato Two Potato. Notably, the production team includes Danny Schrader, Gordon Ramsay, Jennifer Fazey, Elisabeth Murdoch, Ben Adler, Pat Llewylln, along with Sharon Levy and Michael Heyerman from Endemol Shine. These talented individuals are instrumental in shaping this culinary marvel on our screens.

Year after year, Gordon Ramsay and his crew consistently offer unprecedented creativity and set new standards of competition, ensuring that ‘MasterChef’ remains one of the most popular cooking shows on TV. As demonstrated last summer with its outstanding performance, this partnership with Fox Television Network continues to provide engaging, unique content for our viewers. By incorporating Tiffany’s fresh insights and expertise into the mix, we believe that the recipe for success will only improve further.

Derry expressed great enthusiasm about becoming a judge on ‘MasterChef’ for Season 15, describing it as unique compared to others. Cooking, for Derry, has always been an expression of passion, skill, and emotion, and he’s eager to contribute his viewpoint alongside Gordon and Joe. This season tests home cook duos in innovative ways, and watching them adapt to the challenges was a delight. Expect fantastic cuisine, firm guidance, and perhaps a dash of drama!”
