When will 'MasterChef Junior' Season 9 release? Cast, plot and how to watch Fox's cooking show
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Get ready to witness the adorable chefs on Fox's most-loved cooking show this March. 'Masterchef Junior' Season 9 is all set to return on March 4 at 8 pm ET on Fox.
The following episodes will air on Mondays at the same time as Hulu, the next day.
The show initially premiered on September 27, 2013. Children aged 8 to 13 are given materials, instructions, and time limits and must create dishes to be tasted by the judges.
In each episode, children cook together in the large MasterChef kitchen as the judges (and occasionally their parents) observe. The judges then taste each dish and offer feedback to these young chefs.
In each episode, contenders are eliminated until only one remains to win the MasterChef Junior trophy.
The synopsis of MasterChef Junior from Fox states, "MasterChef Junior follows young home cooks between the ages of 8 and 13 who compete in a series of challenges to win the title of America's next MasterChef Junior, taking home a trophy and $100,000 in prize money."
The names of the contestants are yet to be revealed by Fox.
