Kitchen Nightmares season 8: next episode, restaurant updates and everything we know about the Gordon Ramsay series

Gordon Ramsay is cementing his place on Fox this season with not one, but two shows, and another on the way. Kitchen Nightmares is coming back for its eighth season and will be joined this fall by Hell's Kitchen season 22. 

Ramsay has long been a staple on Fox (22 seasons of Hell’s Kitchen is proof of that) and he'll also have Next Level Chef season 3 to look forward to either at midseason or in the spring. 

Here's what we know about Kitchen Nightmares season 8. 

Next episode of Kitchen Nightmares season 8 

Kitchen Nightmares season 8 airs Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox. It shares the night with the second season of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, which airs at 9 pm ET/PT. New episodes are available the following day on Hulu. 

The two-part season finale of Kitchen Nightmares will air Monday, December 4. The title of the episode is "Max's/Diwan" and here's the episode description: "Gordon Ramsay heads to Max’s Bar & Grill in Long Branch, New Jersey to mediate the restaurant’s divorced owners through their frustrations with each other before their business crumbles. Then, Gordon steps in to help transform Diwan, an established Indian restaurant in Port Washington, New York, that is also running a Mexican restaurant out of the same kitchen in the all-new “Max’s/Diwan” two-part season finale episode." 

There's currently no UK premiere date set but when one is available we'll have it for you right here.
