Apple TV has officially greenlit a third season of its acclaimed culinary competition series “Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars,” just hours after season two premiered its finale. The new installment will span eight episodes, matching the format of the past seasons.
Who’s Behind It & What the Series Covers
Hosted by Jesse Burgess (known for Topjaw) and executive produced by Gordon Ramsay, the show follows restaurants across the globe striving to win, keep, or elevate their Michelin Star status. Previous seasons lifted the curtain on elite establishments like Brazil’s Evvai—the first Latin American restaurant to earn three Michelin Stars—and rural Wales’s Ynyshir, which holds two stars.
The series premiered in 2025 to rave reviews, securing a perfect 100% on Tomatometer. It has since earned recognition in major industry awards: a BAFTA nomination in the Factual Entertainment category and the win for Best Popular Factual Programme at the 2026 Broadcast Digital Awards.
What’s Next & Why It Matters
Season three, like its predecessors, will consist of eight episodes and pick up the journey through kitchens filled with ambition, sacrifice, and high culinary stakes. While no release date has been announced, fans can expect the same cinematic access into elite gastronomy that has become the show’s trademark.
From following the rigorous standards of Michelin inspectors to capturing personal stories behind the chefs and teams, the show aligns with a growing appetite for high-end food documentaries that go beyond plating—they reveal the cost, pressure, and artistry behind fine dining globally.
On one level, this renewal underscores Apple’s expanding investment into original content that blends culture, competition, and storytelling. For viewers, season three promises more intensity, more culinary diversity, and another chance to explore what it truly takes to shine under the Michelin spotlight.
