Apple TV has released the trailer for the second season of Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars. The docuseries returns on September 25 and follows chefs and restaurants pursuing, defending or rebuilding their standing in the Michelin Guide.
The new season moves through restaurants in New York, Chicago, London and the Netherlands. It also goes inside the pressure of Michelin’s anonymous inspection process, where a single service can carry consequences for a restaurant’s reputation and business.
Where season 2 goes
Apple says the season includes chefs at very different stages of that journey. Some are trying to earn their first star, while others are working to retain a distinction already won. That structure gives the series a wider view than a competition format, with attention on the teams and service standards behind each kitchen.

- Series: Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars
- Season 2 premiere: September 25, 2026
- Service: Apple TV
The first season earned a BAFTA nomination, according to Apple. Season 2 is executive produced by Gordon Ramsay and Studio Ramsay Global, with the Michelin Guide again providing the backdrop rather than appearing as a judge-led TV contest.
For viewers, the useful context is that the series follows working restaurants rather than staging a short cooking challenge. The trailer shows the realities around a service: staffing, preparation, expectations from guests and the long shadow of a guide decision that may arrive without warning.
The trailer is now available through Apple TV’s announcement. Viewers who want a reminder of the show’s setup can start with the first season before the new episodes arrive.
