Hell’s Kitchen sees one renowned head chef welcome a group of hopeful chefs into Hell's Kitchen, where they will compete for the chance of a life-changing job in a top restaurant. Real-life drama, high emotion and culinary passion combine as the participants live, cook and compete in Hell's Kitchen. Which chef can handle the heat?

In Poland this show will air its 7th season this fall on Polsat and in the US its 21st season set to premiere on September 29, 2022 at FOX. Not only on screen, the format also works extremely well in licensed programs, which to date include five Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen restaurants, with the latest recently opened in California on August 12 and with 4 more to open in 2023, each offering fine dining in a unique ambiance.
