Endemol Shine Australia for Network Ten
Some of MasterChef Australia’s brightest stars return in 2025 for a Back To Win contest. Judges Andy Allen, Sofia Levin, Poh Ling Yeow, and Jean-Christophe Novelli welcome contestants from Seasons 1 to 16.
MasterChef Australia: Back To Win features fan favourites and iconic cooks competing for $250,000. With unfinished business and scores to settle, they aim to claim victory. Fresh from running restaurants, writing cookbooks, and hosting TV shows, they don their aprons once more.
For Callum Hann, Laura Sharrad, and Sarah Todd, this is their third attempt at the crown. The pressure is on from day one, with Gordon Ramsay kicking off the competition as a guest chef.
Expect action-packed challenges, mind-blowing food, and unbridled creativity. The show will feature lauded local and international chefs setting tough challenges. Contestants will impress legends, social-media sensations, and step outside the kitchen to scale new heights.
With everything to play for, these passionate cooks will elevate their skills, while judges share in dramatic and heartfelt moments. In this fierce competition, only one will rise to the top to prove they are truly Back To Win.
