Gordon Ramsay will return to our screens in 2024 with a brand new Netflix series that gives unprecedented access into his life and career as he prepares to open what will be his biggest restaurant to date. The series will chart Ramsay’s progress over nine months as he readies himself to open his multi-venue complex at 22 Bishopsgate—one of London’s tallest and most iconic buildings. This is the boldest endeavour yet by the chef, who will invest millions in a single roof with five different dining concepts. Lucky Cat is getting outposts for his famous brand, as well as new locations for his Bread Street Kitchen brand and a second, smaller version of his three-Michelin-starred flagship, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay.
Its making, at least in the case of the first series, is being done by Studio Ramsay, and it is directed by Dionne Bromfield, so the promises made by this program are not limited to the mundane logistics of opening a restaurant but will also offer viewers an unusual insight into Ramsay’s private life, which balances his burdensome work commitments with family life. The chef is also known for his fiery personality in shows like Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, but here he will appear with his wife, Tana, and his six children, which may make his response more intimate toward the man behind this global culinary empire.
This new documentary series is quite similar to his earlier documentary work, such as the legendary Boiling Point, which features him opening his first restaurant in 1999. Boiling Point became the pivot moment in the life of this fiery chef, showing him to be extremely driven and determined toward further television success. This new offering of Netflix, however, promises to depict a more mature and multifaceted side of Ramsay, as he evokes pressures, high-stake business ventures, and activities as well as the joys related to being a father.
It is yet one other step to be built by the high-stakes nature of its project at 22 Bishopsgate and Netflix global reach in cementing Ramsay’s position as one of the world’s most influential chefs. Like anyone else could eagerly wait for the show to be released, the stir raised by the show’s continuous transitivity that Ramsay projects into the culinary world becomes a means to command the attention of a people whether they are in or out of the kitchen.
