Although the first season of the series had disappointing ratings,[4] a desire to sell the show internationally led it to be renewed for a second season, which premiered on 29 October 2018.[5] Despite a number of international adaptations in development, the show continued to struggle to find an audience locally and no further seasons have been commissioned.[6]

Production

The series was announced at Network Nine's upfronts in November 2016.[2] Auditions opened in February 2017, searching for family teams of four people with all members required to be amateur cooks; auditions closed on 13 April 2017.[7] In July 2017, Matt Moran, Hayden Quinn and Anna Polyviou were announced as judges of the series with Tom Parker Bowles to appear as a guest judge.[8][9] In episode 15 it was announced that Parker Bowles would remain with the show for the finals, and so he appeared in all episodes.

Season 2 saw the teams reduced from four contestants to two. Hayden Quinn opted not to return as a judge for the second season.[10]

Family Food Fight is filmed at Melbourne Showgrounds.
