The streamer has renewed Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars for a second season, bringing viewers back into the stressful and deeply competitive world of Michelin-star dining. The eight-episode documentary series is executive produced by Gordon Ramsay and hosted by Jesse Burgess, the food and travel expert behind Topjaw.
Rather than focusing on cooking-show eliminations or celebrity judges, the series follows real chefs and restaurant teams as they try to earn, keep, or improve their Michelin standing during the Michelin Guide season. Cameras move through restaurants across New York, Chicago, California, Mexico, Italy, the Nordics, Great Britain, and Ireland, capturing the pressure behind some of the world’s most demanding kitchens.
One of the biggest talking points surrounding the first season was Michelin’s rare cooperation with filmmakers. According to Apple TV, the series includes on-the-record interviews with Michelin inspectors, offering viewers a closer look at a process that has traditionally remained secretive.

Season one followed a wide range of restaurants, from New York fried chicken spot COQODAQ to fine dining destinations like Nōksu, where chef Dae Kim and owner Bobby Kwak successfully earned their first Michelin Star during filming. Other restaurants featured throughout the season included Aure in the Nordics, Agriturismo Ferdy in Italy, and Caractère in London.
Not every story ended in celebration. Some chefs faced disappointment after failing to secure hoped-for stars or upgrades, adding another layer of tension to a series that spends as much time on financial pressure and survival as it does on food.
“Now more than ever, restaurants around the world are under enormous pressure to not just strive for perfection, but to survive,” Ramsay said in a statement announcing the renewal.
The first season of “Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars” is currently streaming on Apple TV.
