Gordon Ramsay’s ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ Scores Massive Two-Season Renewal—Foxwoods Becomes the Show’s Permanent Home
Gordon Ramsay isn’t leaving Connecticut anytime soon.
After successfully filming two consecutive seasons of Hell’s Kitchen at Foxwoods Resort Casino, the celebrity chef’s hit cooking competition is officially returning for two more installments. FOX has confirmed that Seasons 25 and 26 are now moving into production at the Mashantucket destination, marking another major milestone for one of television’s longest-running culinary franchises.
The renewal is more than just another pair of seasons—it cements Foxwoods as the new home of Hell’s Kitchen, strengthening a partnership that has already transformed the Connecticut resort into one of the country’s premier television production hubs.
“Serving as the backdrop for Hell’s Kitchen once again highlights our innovative vision and the powerful partnership we share with FOX and ITV America, as well as the world-class capabilities of the production studio we’ve built right here in Mashantucket,” Foxwoods Resort Casino President and CEO Jason Guyot said in a statement.
Guyot added that what began as an exciting collaboration has evolved into something much larger, bringing economic growth to the region, attracting top culinary talent, and shining a national spotlight on Connecticut.
The upcoming seasons will once again be filmed inside Foxwoods’ purpose-built Hell’s Kitchen production studio, a custom-designed facility that recreates the show’s iconic red and blue kitchens along with its dramatic dining room. The studio operates separately from the popular Hell’s Kitchen restaurant located inside the resort’s Grand Pequot Tower, allowing production to continue without disrupting daily restaurant operations.
While FOX has yet to announce an official premiere date for Season 25, the network has confirmed that the next season is expected to debut this fall, giving fans another chance to watch Ramsay put aspiring chefs through his famously demanding culinary challenges.
The announcement follows two successful Connecticut-based seasons. Season 24 concluded earlier this year with Nevada chef Ellie Parker earning the coveted title of Hell’s Kitchen champion. Along with the honor, Parker received a $250,000 grand prize and the opportunity to become the next head chef at Hell’s Kitchen at Foxwoods.
Before her victory, Season 23 crowned Kyle Timpson, who now serves as Executive Chef at the Foxwoods restaurant, proving the competition continues to launch real culinary careers long after the cameras stop rolling.
David George, CEO of ITV America—the company behind the production—praised Foxwoods for becoming an invaluable partner throughout filming.
“Foxwoods has been an incredible partner from the outset, creating an exceptional environment for filming that allows both cast and crew to do their best work,” George said. “Their outstanding team, infrastructure and signature hospitality have elevated production on Hell’s Kitchen, and we’re thrilled to see the show return to its Connecticut home for Seasons 25 and 26.”
The series has also helped showcase Connecticut far beyond the walls of the competition kitchen. Throughout recent seasons, viewers have been introduced to several local attractions and businesses, including Mystic Seaport Museum, the Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center, The Shipwright’s Daughter, and Long Table Farm, giving the state valuable national exposure.
According to the official announcement, every new season further strengthens Foxwoods’ reputation as a premier East Coast production destination—one where culinary stars are discovered, careers are launched, and millions of viewers are introduced to the culture, food, and hospitality of Connecticut.
With two more seasons now officially on the way, Gordon Ramsay’s fiery competition isn’t just returning—it’s reinforcing Foxwoods’ status as the undisputed home of Hell’s Kitchen for the foreseeable future.
