24 in 24: Last Chef Standing 2

The culinary world's most ambitious and gruelling competition is back for a second season with the return of 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing, hosted by Michael Symon and Esther Choi.

Shot in real time, the hosts have gathered a group of 24 talented and fearless chefs for 24 challenges over the course of 24 straight hours.

Skill, creativity and stamina are tested while the clock never stops - and only one competitor will survive to become the last chef standing and win $75,000.

The challenges are divided into eight shifts that reflect the all-consuming intensity of a chef's daily life, with each focusing on a different skill like speed, resourcefulness, artistry and adaptability in front of guest judges.

With contenders ranging from Gen Z prodigies and renowned restaurant chefs to Food Network veterans and an Iron Chef, the 24 in 24 arena is filled with culinary stars who must conquer major twists and turns, all while battling fatigue and each other.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Shift 1: Speed": In the first shift, the chefs must endure three challenges testing speed.

Those that impress expert judge Antonia Lofaso survive, and whoever does not is forced to clock out.

When Michael and Esther introduce the all-important golden knife, the chefs learn this epic day of cooking will be full of twists and turns, but only those that can adjust on the fly have a chance to be the last chef standing.

Over the next 24 hours, the competition tackles different shifts that test aspects of being a chef: after the premiere's speed challenge, themes include simplicity, resourcefulness, artistry, adaptability, teamwork, risk taking and elevation.

The five-week season's two-hour episodes culminate in the finale where only the last chef standing declares victory and wins $75,000.
