'Culinary Class Wars' Season 2 to return next year

  SEOUL, Oct. 15 (Yonhap) -- "Culinary Class Wars," Netflix's popular Korean reality show, will return for a second season next year, the streaming service said Tuesday.

The original production team, including producers Kim Hak-min and Kim Eun-ji, along with writer Mo Eun-seol, will reunite for Season 2, which is expected to premiere in the second half of next year.

"We are able to bring Season 2 to life thanks to the support from viewers," the producers said in a press release. "We will work hard to meet the expectations and love from our audience."

Released Sept. 17, the show pits elite chefs (White Spoons) against lesser-known underdogs (Black Spoons) in intense culinary battles to determine the country's top cook.

Since its debut, the show has topped Netflix's non-English series chart for three consecutive weeks, drawing millions of views worldwide. Its fierce competition has drawn comparisons to the intensity of another Korean hit show, "Physical 100," while sparking international interest in the diversity of talented Korean chefs and their dishes.
