Argentina's MasterChef Celebrity is set to return to Telefe on Monday, September 28, at 10:15 p.m., with 24 celebrities competing in the fifth season of the popular cooking competition.
Hosted by Wanda Nara, the new season will feature a judging panel comprising pastry chef Damián Betular, chef Germán Martitegui and culinary personality Maru Botana. The three judges will evaluate contestants as they tackle a series of cooking challenges designed to test their culinary skills, creativity and ability to perform under pressure.
The competition brings together personalities from music, television, journalism, sports and entertainment. The 24 contestants are Alejandro Lerner, Campi, China Ansa, Diego Ramos, Edith Hermida, Elizabeth Vernaci, Grego Rosselló, Hernán Coronel, Juli Poggio, Julieta Nair Calvo, Karina Mazzocco, Lizy Tagliani, Luciana Geuna, Luck Ra, Marta Fort, Morena Beltrán, Nazareno Casero, Pablo Giralt, Pablo Migliore, Pachu Peña, Paula Trápani, Rocío Robles and Sebastián Presta.
Each episode will feature a different culinary challenge, with contestants required to demonstrate their cooking abilities and meet the judges' expectations to remain in the competition. The ultimate goal is to secure the season's coveted trophy.
The upcoming season will also expand the program's reach through a distribution agreement between Telefe and Warner Bros. Discovery, making episodes available across several television channels and streaming platforms.
New episodes will be available simultaneously on Telefe and HBO Max. The day after their initial broadcast, episodes will air on TNT, followed by broadcasts on Discovery Home & Health (H&H) the following week. The latter channel will also feature special weekend marathons.
Full episodes will be available on HBO Max, allowing viewers to watch the competition on demand.
Telefe is also extending the program's presence through its digital platform, Telefe Streams. Beginning at 10 p.m. each night, Cachete Sierra and Lola Latorre will host live reaction segments, offering audiences an additional way to engage with the competition as it unfolds.
Produced by Telefe in partnership with Boxfish, the fifth season marks the return of a format that combines celebrity entertainment with competitive cooking. The show is distributed internationally by Banijay Rights.
With a new lineup of contestants, a three-member judging panel and a multiplatform release strategy, MasterChef Celebrity is preparing to bring another round of culinary challenges and celebrity competition to Argentine audiences.
