Canal Sony is to premiere a second season of Top Chef Mexico throughout Latin America in February.

Based on the NBCUniversal format and produced by Cinemateli Content, the second season (13x60’) will be hosted by Ana Claudia Talancón, who will be assisted by four well known chefs.

“Canal Sony has achieved great success with its original productions, such as Top Chef Mexico, which are in line with viewers’ preferences and open important business opportunities for our advertisers,” said José Antonio Hidalgo, VP and GM, Sony Pictures Television Networks México. “Top Chef Mexico’s second season will keep focusing on the quality and the diversity of the Mexican cuisine.”

During its first season, which aired in the first half of 2016, the show doubled Canal Sony’s figures during its time-slot with people aged 18-49 with medium-high income level, according to figures from the network.

“It’s great to see Top Chef is coming back after its solid debut last year,” added Yvonne Pilkington, senior VP, format sales and production, NBCUniversal International Formats. “We have carried 20 adaptations of the format around the globe and we aim to keep increasing the show’s international appeal.”
