My Kitchen Rules is over for now, but down the track you will be seeing more from the judges.
Pete Evans will have has his own series and return for Season 6, while Manu Feildel is back for more of My France with Manu.
“We’re doing another 2 eps,” Feildel told TV Tonight. “I’m going back to France in June to do the other side. We did the west, now we’ll do the east.
“Getting paid to be on holidays and drink some red wine!” he laughed.
Meanwhile, Pete Evans has put an end to speculation that he would leave MKR.
“Contrary to what some magazines have written, I will be back for another series of MKR and my new paleo tv series will also be aired on Channel 7,” he wrote on Facebook.
“Thank you once again and now it is over to Masterchef to keep those culinary juices flowing and to keep planting the seeds. Cheers Pete and congrats Bree and Jessica”

@The Moops. disagree completely. there are lots of reasons to fix things that aren’t broken. I refer back to AGT, it was the #1 show on australian tv for 2011, it was at the top its game getting its strongest ratings ever, 12 months later 7 axed it due to low ratings.
Ratings bombed because people chose the shiny, fresh ‘The Voice’ over it, in comparison AGT looked very dated and same-old, 7 rested on their laurels. there is every chance the exact same thing can happen to MKR.
@Mr. J, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Given the grand final rated 3.7M, audience fatigue does not appear to have set in yet. I am sure the format will have some tweaks for series 6 and given the social media backlash re bitchiness and bullying this season, the contestant mix may vary, too. Seven are smart when it comes to reality series, they know what they’re doing.
Not sure about this news. MKR has barely changed in 5 years. Same judges, same graphics, same promotion techniques, only slight format tweaks, even the cast is similar every year. Fatigue has to set in at some point and another year of the same could tip it over. That’s arguably what happened to AGT.
I think they are due for a relaunch season, with new judges, new logo & graphics and a new format. DWTS and TXF manage to reinvent themselves almost every year. So should MKR.
