Netflix is once again turning up the heat. Culinary Class Wars, the buzzy Korean cooking competition that’s become comfort food for reality TV obsessives has officially been renewed for Season 3 and the streaming giant is shaking things up in a big way. This time, it’s no longer every chef for themselves. Season 3 is going full-on team warfare and honestly? That’s exactly what this show was built for.
After two seasons of individual chefs battling it out for culinary supremacy, Netflix has confirmed that Culinary Class
Wars Season 3 will adopt a team-based format, with chefs competing as part of restaurant crews rather than lone wolves. Think less “solo genius under pressure” and more “group chat meltdown during dinner service.” For a series already known for high-stakes cooking challenges and razor-sharp judging, the shift feels both inevitable and deliciously messy.
The new format will reportedly feature teams of four chefs from the same restaurant, forcing contestants to rely on chemistry, leadership and coordination, not just who can plate the prettiest dish under a ticking clock. It’s a smart evolution for a show that’s always leaned into the culture and hierarchy of professional kitchens, where teamwork isn’t optional and egos are often the first thing to hit the floor.
The team-based structure opens the door to deeper storytelling. Alliances matter more. Mistakes hit harder. And when a dish fails, there’s no hiding behind individual immunity. If Seasons 1 and 2 were about personal ambition, Season 3 looks poised to explore loyalty, strategy and the kind of simmering tension that makes reality TV compulsively watchable.
Netflix hasn’t announced a premiere date yet, but casting is already underway. The original production team is also returning, which should reassure fans worried that the format shift might dilute the show’s signature intensity. If anything, it sounds like the pressure cooker just got smaller and hotter.
With Culinary Class Wars Season 3, Netflix is betting that teamwork, rivalry and restaurant pride will keep viewers glued to their screens. If the past seasons taught us anything, it’s that great food television thrives on conflict, creativity and a little controlled disaster. And now that the chefs are fighting as teams? Consider this war officially upgraded.
