Pack your knives and go… straight to next season. Bravo has renewed Top Chef for season 24. 

Bravo’s longest-running original series — it premiered two weeks before The Real Housewives of Orange County — is currently airing its 23rd cycle on the cable network. Filmed in Charlotte, North Carolina, with additional episodes shot in Greenville, South Carolina, the season is set to wrap with a Monday, June 8, finale. 

This latest season has been a strong one for the series. Top Chef, which airs on both the Bravo linear network as well as NBCUniversal-owned streamer Peacock, is enjoying its best gross audience since the 2021 cycle. This endurance is all the more distinctive given the fact that Top Chef is the last competition series on the network and the only original doesn’t lean on docudrama reality exploits depicted on series like the sprawling Real Housewives franchise, Below Deck, The Valley and, most notably of late, Summer House.

A Magical Elves production, Top Chef stars host, judge and season 10 winner Kristen Kish and judges and executive producers Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons. The latter pair have been with the series since episode one. 

Top Chef also includes the digital native series Last Chance Kitchen, a side competition hosted and judged by Colicchio that sees exiled chefs vie for a spot to return to the series ahead of the finale.  

Bravo tried a new approach in launching this current season. In addition to moving premiere nights from Thursdays to Mondays, the first episode dropped a week early on Peacock, Bravo’s YouTube channel and VOD.
