The heat is still on in the kitchen! Despite recent headlines surrounding judge Baek Jong Won and his company, The Born Korea, Netflix’s culinary competition series, ‘Culinary Class Wars,’ is reportedly continuing production on its highly anticipated second season. Industry whispers suggest a potential October release for the show, with filming having commenced in late March and progressing smoothly.
For fans who enjoyed the fiery challenges and insightful critiques of the first season, there’s good news: both Baek Jong Won and Chef Ahn Sung Jae are slated to return as judges, ready to guide and evaluate the next batch of culinary contenders. While Netflix itself offered a cautious statement, noting a “second-half release” without a specific date, the momentum behind the production seems undeniable.
The recent controversy surrounding Baek Jong Won’s business ventures had sparked concerns about potential disruptions to his prominent television presence. However, it appears that ‘Culinary Class Wars‘ Season 2, along with other major projects, has largely weathered the storm. In fact, Baek Jong Won was even recently spotted across the globe in France, filming the third season of tvN‘s popular variety show, ‘The Genius Baek.’
Interestingly, the culinary landscape on Korean television has seen some shifts. MBC‘s ‘Chef of Antarctica,’ initially slated for an April premiere, faced rumors of being indefinitely postponed. However, the broadcasting station clarified the situation, attributing the adjusted schedule to “breaking news coverage and the early election period.” They assured viewers that the exact air date would be announced once finalized.
