Netflix renews “Dinner Time Live With David Chang” for season 2

Netflix is ​​bringing back a new season of its cooking series “Dinner Time Live With David Chang” just in time for the holidays. The second season of the series will premiere on Tuesday, October 8, with nine 50-minute episodes airing weekly.

In “Dinner Time Live,” the famous restaurant owner (founder of the Momofuku restaurant group) “personally cooks for his celebrity friends in his downtown Los Angeles kitchen. It's a VIP experience where the food, the mishaps and the conversation happen in real time. No food swapping, no food stylists, just real cooking secrets and recipes from a world-famous chef cooking live,” the synopsis says.

Season 2 focused on holiday-themed dishes, with Chang saying, “For me, the holidays are about overeating and overdrinking with loved ones. Thankfully, Dinner Time Live is the same. I can't wait to show my love to our guests this season by cooking holiday-themed menus, serving them way too much food, and throwing in a few surprises along the way.”

New episodes of “Dinner Time Live” stream live on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. It's one of the few — maybe the only? — shows that airs weekly on Netflix, which has been experimenting with its distribution pattern of late. (Though most series are still released all at once in a binge model, some shows — particularly unscripted ones — are released in batches.)

Dinner Time Live is also part of a growing trend of live programming at Netflix, which recently included another food-themed extravaganza, Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef. Previous Netflix programming includes The Roast of Tom Brady, Katt Williams: Woke Foke, John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA, Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats, Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, the Netflix Slam and the Netflix Cup. Up next are events like Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson and NFL games on Christmas Day, as well as the Netflix premiere of WWE Raw and another year of the SAG Awards.

Majordomo Media and Den of Thieves are behind “Dinner Time Live,” which premiered in January and has produced 26 episodes so far this year. Executive producers include Chang, Chris Ying, Christopher Chen, Noelle Cornelio, Brandon Monk, Jesse Ignatovic, Evan Prager and Jared Morell. Monk is the showrunner. Chang previously created and starred in the Netflix series “Ugly Delicious.”
