Saturday Night Live star Mikey Day, who has been the host since season 1 of the show, will return to host all three spin-off variations. Alfred Street Industries is behind the show with Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz, Nan Strait, Dan Volpe, and Andrew Wallace as executive producers.
The status of the main show, which is waiting for an official season 4 renewal, was not revealed today.
In addition to these renewals, which we’ll soon be tracking on our master list of all the Netflix shows coming back for additional seasons, Netflix also confirmed that it’d be teaming up with David Chang for a third season of Dinner Time Live, starting in August 2025. It has officially announced Next Gen Chef, a new prestigious cooking show that features 21 of America’s hottest young chefs battling it out at the Culinary Institute of America. That’s due to release in Fall 2025. We first reported on that particular show in November 2024.
