Selena Gomez, the multifaceted 30-year-old sensation, is set to take the culinary world by storm as she embarks on a new venture with Food Network. Following her Emmy-nominated success with “Selena + Chef” on HBO Max, Gomez is gearing up to showcase her culinary prowess in not one but two brand-new shows. The first of these series is slated to make its debut later this year, while fans can anticipate the second one hitting screens in 2024.
Kathleen Finch, Chairman, and Chief Content Officer of US networks, expressed her excitement in a statement, providing a sneak peek into what viewers can expect. “The first show will air just in time for the holidays,” Finch announced. “The second will have her meeting up with some of the best chefs in the country in a quest to cook their most popular dishes when she visits their kitchens. The holidays are always huge for Food Network, reaching nearly 60M P2+ viewers, and having Selena kicking off the nearly 100 hours of new and returning holiday programming will certainly make this coming season one to celebrate.”
While the future of “Selena + Chef” remains uncertain, the success of the show has undoubtedly paved the way for Gomez’s culinary journey. The former Disney Channel star, known for her roles in “Only Murders In The Building,” admitted her initial kitchen struggles, labeling herself a “complete disaster” in the first season. However, she acknowledged her growth, stating, “And not to say I still don’t have my moments, but I’ve come a long way. I wish I had more time to cook, but with work, it’s not always easy. I love when I get the chance to cook for my friends and family. I have revisited many of the dishes I’ve made on the show.”
As Selena Gomez ventures into the realm of Food Network, fans eagerly anticipate the culinary delights she’ll bring to their screens. The convergence of Hollywood glamour and gastronomic creativity promises an exciting culinary takeover, leaving audiences hungry for more. Stay tuned for a delectable journey with Selena Gomez as she hosts these two much-anticipated shows, promising to make the upcoming holiday season one to savor.
