Netflix announced today that Chef's Table has two new seasons on the way: "Chef's Table: Icons" and "Chef's Table: Desserts." It has been over a year since the docuseries released its most recent 'Legends' season.

The culinary series takes a look at what's inside the kitchens and minds of some of the most extraordinary international chefs who are redefining today's gourmet food. With a different chef profiled in each episode, viewers get an inside look at their lives, talents, and passion for food.

"Chef's Table: Icons" turns its lens on the chefs who didn't just run great restaurants - they built institutions. Each redefined dining for their place and time, transforming singular vision into something enduring: a destination, a movement, a standard others measure themselves against. This season explores what it takes to reach the summit of the culinary world - and the discipline, reinvention, and sheer will required to stay there.

"Chef's Table: Desserts" spotlights the world's most inventive dessert chefs and the artistry, precision, and imagination behind their craft. The season explores fresh perspectives on sweets and confectionery from around the globe.

"'Chef's Table' has always been about more than food - it's about the personal journey of the chefs who tell stories with their cuisine - the obsession, discipline, and heart that goes into every night of service in their kitchens and dining rooms," said David Gelb, Creator, Director, Executive Producer. "For Desserts and Icons, these stories were so exciting to me that I decided to take the camera and direct all eight episodes myself, and I've found myself profoundly moved by the experience of filming on the most intimate level with these chefs. After 10 years, our filmmaking team continues to strive to elevate 'Chef's Table' to an even higher level, just like our chefs do in their restaurants every day."
