MasterChef Australia Season 17 serves up redemption and rivalry

The knives are sharpened and the aprons are on—MasterChef Australia Season 17 is here, and it's packed with emotional comebacks, culinary rivalries, and the ultimate second chances. Premiering on JioHotstar and Colors Infinity in India, the new season welcomes 24 returning contestants, including beloved runners-up and viral sensations from previous seasons, all vying for the coveted trophy and $250,000 prize.

From fan-favourites like Callum Hann, Laura Sharrad, Sarah Todd, and Pete Campbell to newer faces such as Darrsh Clarke and Sav Perera, this season's contestants bring passion, skill, and unfinished business. Whether it's Steph de Sousa’s social media charisma or Audra Morrice’s global food knowledge, the show brings together a mix of nostalgia and innovation.

The kitchen is in expert hands with judges Andy Allen, Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin, and Michelin-starred chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, ensuring a balance of heart, heritage, and haute cuisine. Kicking off the guest judge lineup in trademark fiery fashion is none other than Gordon Ramsay.

Judge Andy Allen, a former contestant himself, reflects, “Every time I walk into the MasterChef kitchen, it takes me back to where it all began… What makes it even more special is the love the show gets from around the world, especially from India. I’ve been blown away by the passion and warmth of our Indian fans.”

Produced by Endemol Shine Australia, a Banijay company, for Network Ten and distributed globally by Banijay Rights, MasterChef Australia continues to be a culinary beacon, winning accolades like the TV Week Logie and AACTA awards.
