Hell's Kitchen is an American reality competition television series based on the British series of the same name, and also hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. It has been broadcast on Fox since 2005.
Each season, two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant, while working in the kitchen of a restaurant set up in the television studio. A progressive elimination format reduces a field of 20 to 12 to a single winner over the course of each season. In a typical episode, a single contestant is selected for elimination.
The first 18 seasons were produced at a modified warehouse in Los Angeles that included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities and a dormitory where the contestants resided while on the show. In February 2019, Fox renewed the series for a nineteenth and twentieth season, this time to be filmed at the Hell's Kitchen restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 19th season premiered on January 7, 2021.
Hell's Kitchen has been nominated for six Primetime Emmy Awards.
