Netflix has ordered two additional standalone seasons of its food series “Chef’s Table,” adding a total of eight new episodes. The new installments are titled “Chef’s Table: Icons” and “Chef’s Table: Desserts,” continuing the show’s format of focusing on different themes and culinary talent.
According to reports, Netflix also involves creator David Gelb more directly this time: he is set to direct every episode in both new seasons. The announcements emphasize that the seasons center on renowned figures in cooking (“Icons”) and the craft of desserts, with Netflix positioning the additions as an extension of the Emmy-winning franchise.
While outlets both focus on the series renewal and the two themes, they differ slightly in emphasis. Variety spotlights Gelb’s expanded directing role across the full runs, while ComingSoon.net highlights the first details being revealed and the Emmy-winning status alongside the episode count and subject matter.
