Kitchen Impossible: Anniversary season from the end of April

COLOGNE - The tenth season of Kitchen Impossible starts at the end of April. From 27 April, the new episodes will also be broadcast on VOX on Sundays. The new episodes will be available on the RTL+ streaming portal one week beforehand.

A decade full of culinary feats, nerve-wracking challenges and unforgettable moments - "Kitchen Impossible" is celebrating its big anniversary with a spectacular season. And as if the last ten years weren't enough, the cookery show is going one better in 2025. Tim Mälzer, the undisputed king of kitchen challenges, will not only be confronted with new challenges in the 10th season, but will also be up against equal opponents who want to challenge him for the chef's throne. It's not just high-calibre top chefs who will be competing: with music greats such as Sido and Marteria, prominent challengers from a completely different world will also be entering the ring. But that's just the beginning. None other than Jamie Oliver will be competing as a special highlight of the anniversary season. If anyone can make Tim Mälzer sweat, it's the British celebrity chef himself! Who will be crowned in the end? Who will fail miserably? And above all - can Tim Mälzer defend his place in the cookery Olympics?

"Back then, after the first episode was broadcast, I would never have believed that 10 years later we would go on air with a fantastic anniversary series with unbelievably great contestants and players. In this day and age, it's anything but a matter of course that a new format development can remain popular for so long. I would like to thank all the opponents and contributors in front of and behind the camera - and my broadcaster VOX, which has allowed us to make such a fulfilling and challenging programme for 10 years," says Tim Mälzer.
