Lovers of culinary TV shows are in for a real treat.
The highly anticipated return of My Kitchen Rules is almost here, and the excitement is building fast. For the first time ever, starting Sunday, February 2nd, five teams will battle it out in an all-new format featuring Chef vs Chef and House vs House competitions.
The premiere date for “My Kitchen Rules: The Rivals” was officially announced just weeks before its launch, alongside a dramatic trailer and sneak peek that revealed just how high the stakes really are.
This season showcases an intense rivalry between two renowned chef captains, Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge. Their teams will compete not only for bragging rights, but also for a massive AU$100,000 cash prize.
Ready for Battle
Long-time fans of My Kitchen Rules are sure to be drawn in by the promise of more of the show’s signature kitchen drama, combined with a fresh lineup of never-before-seen challenges.
This revamped season blends the most loved elements of MKR with exciting new concepts, including head-to-head showdowns between five highly competitive teams.
Colin Fassnidge will be mentoring a group of fresh faces who are brand new to the MKR kitchen. Meanwhile, Manu Feildel leads a team of returning fan favourites, all of whom already know what it takes to impress both judges and viewers.
The Champions vs the Challengers format is expected to deliver some of the most intense rivalries the show has ever seen, as teams push themselves to the limit in pursuit of victory.
All contestants will live together in a newly updated mansion, setting the stage for plenty of dramatic and entertaining interactions as tensions rise between both chefs and houses.
With incredible dishes, fierce competition, and that tempting AU$100,000 prize on the line, this season promises to be unforgettable.
