As of this writing, Pressure Cooker has not been renewed for its second season yet. Netflix considers many factors before renewing a reality show. However, the show may make a quick comeback if it is renewed. Netflix typically releases two seasons of its reality programs each year.
Robbie Jester said in an interview with the Delaware News Journal that he traveled to Los Angeles immediately after learning of his casting in the spring of 2022 for about 3.5 weeks of filming. Pressure Cooker might conceivably return in the middle of 2023 if the brief filming schedule for a hypothetical second season is renewed.
On the other hand, the cast of Pressure Cooker, should it be renewed by Netflix, probably won’t be made public until right before Season 2’s premiere. Every contestant in the first round, who also serves as a judge, has experience in the food industry, from owning a business to working at a restaurant. A few have previously participated in cooking programs, including Jester, a participant who has won a series of Guy’s Grocery Games and Beat Bobby Flay.
Jester provided some background information on the audition process and his experience on the show in an interview with his neighborhood newspaper. The chef from Delaware claimed to have “got wind” of the program two years prior and to have applied in Fall 2021. In order to provide “a social component,” candidates will live together during the tournament, according to the producers’ imprecise description. He explained,
It was completely secret. We didn’t know anybody. We didn’t know we weren’t being judged by celebrity chefs. Every day is a new day and a new set of challenges. They did a really good job of keeping us separated and being secretive. It’s very high-intensity and volatile. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
