When will Culinary Class Wars Season 2 release? Premiere and streaming details, explored 

If you've been waiting for Culinary Class Wars Season 2, then this update will definitely excite you!

The South Korean reality competition is all about cooking battles between some of the most talented chefs from the country. Thanks to Netflix for making the show available to the global audience and focusing on who wins: the prestigious chefs or the ones who come from less privileged or less glamorous culinary backgrounds?

This emerged as a unique structure, as these chefs are divided into Black spoon chefs and white spoon chefs, and a total of 100 contestants. At the same time, the two judges are restaurateur Paik Jong-won and Michelin three-star chef Anh Sung-jae.

The first season was a big hit, and now it has been confirmed that Culinary Class Wars Season 2 will arrive on December 16, 2025 only on Netflix. Not only this, the official teaser is also out, hinting at mouthwatering cuisines and some of the popular faces from the culinary world.

So, fans should gear up for another battle between the Black spoon chef and the White spoon chefs. Last time, the title went to Napoli Matfia or Kwon Sun-jung, who didn't just win but also took away almost 300 million Korean won as the prize money.
