Junior MasterChef Australia (known colloquially as MasterChef Kids) is an Australian competitive cooking game show. It is a spin-off of MasterChef Australia, itself an adaptation of the British show MasterChef, and featured contestants aged 8 to 12. The first season of the show began production in July 2010 and included 50 contestants. Over 5,000 children from around the nation auditioned for the series.
In contrast to prior series, Junior MasterChef Australia was produced by Shine Australia.[1] The promo was seen during the final episode of the second season of MasterChef Australia. The series premiered on Sunday, 12 September 2010.[2]
On 27 April 2020, it was announced that a third season of Junior MasterChef Australia had been commissioned, nine years after the second series aired.[3][4][5]
