Nine has made a surprise announcement of a second season for Family Food Fight.
The series, won by Sydney’s Shahrouk family, was praised for its diversity, but had ratings challenges in its first season.
But unlike reality failures The Last Resort and TEN’s Biggest Loser: Transformed, it largely held the audience it had. Nine will now tweak the show in order to build a recognisable food brand in 2018.
Michael Healy, Director of Television for Nine, said: “We’re really proud to have brought a fresh cooking format to Australian audiences and are confident that it will grow to be an even more solid contributor to Nine’s family-friendly slate next year. Viewers have told us they loved the combination of everyday families with accessible, home-cooked meals. Family Food Fight laid a great foundation for us in the final quarter this year to create a compelling second series in 2018.”
Endemol Shine Australia CEO, Mark Fennessy, said: “We’re extremely proud of this original cooking format and delighted it’s been so warmly supported by our partners at Nine. We look forward to bringing viewers a second helping of good humour, healthy family rivalry and incredible home cooking.”
Nine has not yet indicated which judges will return in 2018.

Throw enough darts and eventually one lands.. how many failed cooking reality shows did they axe in the making? I’ve lost count.
Just had to check it wasn’t April 1st
Great news. Finally a ch 9 cooking show gets renewed. I loved bake off but then it went to foxtel & liked the hot plate but it didn’t get renewed.
Personally I thought the show was a wannabe. It did not tickle my taste buds.
I’m glad it’s coming back, I thought the show was lighthearted family fun.. some dishes the family’s plated up look absolutely incredible.. can’t wait to see which family’s are joining and plating up next season… I too thouroughly enjoyed the judges, each had their own personality.
