‘Culinary Class Wars’ Returns for Season 3, Raising the Stakes With a Team-Based Showdown

Netflix has officially confirmed Season 3 of its hit cooking competition series Culinary Class Wars — and this time, the competition shifts from individual chefs to a bold, team-based format.

Building on two consecutive seasons of global success, Season 3 raises the stakes with four-person teams representing a single restaurant, transforming the competition into a collective fight for pride, reputation, and survival.

Chef applications for Season 3 open via our social channels today. Teams must consist of four chefs currently working together at the same establishment. Individual applicants and teams formed across different restaurants are not eligible; however, restaurants operating under the same brand across multiple locations may apply as a single team.

For the past two years, Culinary Class Wars has led Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English Show rankings. Season 2, in particular, earned acclaim for its heightened tension, inventive rules, and escalating stakes — sharpening and evolving the franchise while preserving its core appeal.

Season 3 reunites the original creative team from Studio Slam, including producer Kim Eun-ji and writer Mo Eun-seol, who played key roles in shaping the series’ success. Producer Kim Eun-ji shared, “ Thanks to the incredible support from viewers around the world through Season 2, we’re grateful to move forward with Season 3. We’ll do our best to deliver an even more exciting format and entertainment that lives up to expectations.”
